Alhama Arjona Esteban, PhD student in the working group of Prof. Frank Würthner, was awarded a regarded poster prize at an international conference in Strasbourg.

David Bialas, from Professor Würthner’s research group, is awarded with a „Chemiefonds-Stipend“ for completing his dissertation about „Supramolekulare p/n Heteregrenzflächen: Modellsysteme für die organische Photovoltaik“.

Ulrich Mayerhöffer, who successfully defended his PhD thesis with distinction on "Synthese, Eigenschaften und funktionale Anwendung von NIR absorbierenden Squarainen" on February 15, 2012, was chosen as an awardee by the VAA Foundation.

At this year’s Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau the Institute of Organic Chemistry is particularly well represented by three young researchers.

Takeshi Maeda from Osaka, Japan Invited as Guest Researcher at the Institute of Organic Chemistry

With numerous anecdotes and spectacular structures a visibly good humored Peter J. Stang provided for an utterly amusing Siegfried Hünig Lecture 2013

Five universities in Bavaria are supported by the state-wide Joint Project "Solar Technologies Go Hybrid" to explore new concepts for converting solar energy into electricity and non-fossil fuels. On October 17th, the project was officially launched in Munich.

Chemists and physicists at the Center for Nanosystems Chemistry have initiated a new collaboration at the University of Wuerzburg. The aim of their work is to design and produce novel materials with tailored properties for efficient interaction with light. The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding the project with 2.3 million € over the next three years.

Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn (Université de Strasbourg) will give the Siegfried Hünig Lecture 2012 on May, 7th.

"Solar Technologies Go Hybrid" is the title of a new research initiative funded by the State of Bavaria. The Center of Nanosystems Chemistry at the University of Würzburg will receive almost a quarter of the total funding sum.
