The Workshop I hosted at the Bavarian Academy was a full success

In a workshop sponsored by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BAdW) and the Munich-based Cluster of Excellence e-conversion, 46 researchers from 15 universities across Germany and Europe met in the gorgeous rooms of the venerable BAdW to discuss “Chemical and energy conversion at interfaces”. Interfaces play an important role in many technological applications, ranging from heterogeneous catalysis in combustion control and fine chemical synthesis over photovoltaics to battery technologies. From 17th until 18th February 2020, fourteen invited speakers presented their recent experimental and theoretical work in four topical sessions, covering a wide variety of topics from “solid-liquid interfaces” to “nanostructured interfaces” and from “conversion by light” to “catalytic conversion”. In addition, a special “lightning session” gave PhD students the opportunity to present their recent results in the field as brief talks. During the coffee and lunch breaks, lively discussions ensued. In the evening, networking continued during a conference dinner at the Schneider Bräuhaus, featuring typical Bavarian cuisine which enjoyed large popularity amongst the guests. The workshop was organized by Jun.-Prof. Mirijam Zobel and myself. More information on the workshop can be found here.
