On Friday, March 29th, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation research award winners were welcomed to Germany at its traditional annual awards symposium in Bamberg. Three of them are hosted in the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy of JMU during their research stays.

More than 200 participants met for the fifth edition of SupraChem in Würzburg in February 2019. Besides 27 short lectures and 111 poster contributions by German and European participants, three plenary lectures by internationally renowned scientists were given as true highlights, one of them from the 2016 Chemistry Nobel Laureate Sir Fraser Stoddart.

Edmundo Castillo is guest professor at the Institute of Organic Chemistry for one year. At the University of Würzburg he is researching new pharmaceutical applications for natural substances.

Chemistry professor Antoni Llobet (Spain) joins the University of Würzburg with a research prize from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. He is a worldwide leading expert in the field of oxidative water splitting with sunlight.

Prof. Dr. Dr. Todd B. Marder was recently elected by the Council of

the American Association for the Advancement of Science to the rank of

The 'Universitätsbund' and the University of Würzburg have awarded Florian Beuerle the "Röntgenpreis 2018".

This prestigious distinction has been awarded to Frank Würthner and five other scientists from the University of Würzburg this year. The six faculty members and one researcher honoured as "Citation Laureate" are among the most frequently cited and hence most influential authors in their fields of research.

Mit viel Begeisterung nahmen am Samstag, den 10. November 2018 Schülerinnen und Schüler der Jahrgangsstufen 10 bis 12 aus unterschiedlichsten Gymnasien am diesjährigen Schülertag teil.
