Titel: 16th EC2/BIG-NSE workshop
Venue: C130, Chemistry Berlin, TU-Berlin
As every year, once their "initial phase" is finished, the new PhD students of EC2/BIG-NSE have the opportunity to present their PhD work plan in front of the UniSysCat community. After having had to do this twice online because of Corona in January 2021 and 2022, we are finally able to perform this event offline again this time! We look forward to it!
The first presentation is planned to start at about 13:10 and the last one to finish around 17:30. Scope of the presentations ranges from theory to application on all aspects of catalysis: Organic/Inorganic chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, modelization, biotechnologies, biocatalysis etc.: all interested scientists are welcome!
