17th EC2/BIG-NSE Workshop on Friday, Jan. 12, 2024

The new batch students present the work plan of their PhD research

Titel: 17th EC2/BIG-NSE workshop

Venue:  C264, 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.

The first presentation is planned to start at about 12:50 and the last one to finish around 15:50. 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!
