Day of Chemistry 2023

 

The Department of Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University organized the annual Day of Chemistry on May 12, 2023, which was organized by the Institute of Physical Chemistry.

In several short lectures of the doctoral students, highlights of the Aachen chemistry research were presented. In addition, sponsors Evonik, MOCOM and Henkel presented various companies and career paths in the industry. This was followed by lectures “Meet the New Faces” organised by the JungChemikerForum by postdoctoral students of the Chemistry Department. After the presentation, the winner of the “Student award for excellent teaching and supervision” was honoured.

The Day of Chemistry ended with a barbecue party on the forecourt Chemistry.
