Nov. is the month of school visits:Our PR team is presents Iron, upgraded! to school students.Yannick&Markus introduce the topic of substitution using school experiments.Students show particular interest in sustainability-related contexts. It is a great to inspire young people to embrace innovation.

The success of the CRC depends largely on all employees,e.g. our student assistants.Our “Hiwis” in the S-Project Annika Hänssler and Nina Zöller have done a great job and therefore they were presented with a certificate for their expertise in the field of synthesis this week.Thank you for your work!
