Dear members,

The date of the symposium is approaching! Our theme for this year is ‘Chemistry of Success, in and out of control’! With this theme we intend to showcase how the line between successful research and a journey with a lot bumps in the road is very thin. For this purpose, we have invited the following speakers:

  • Dr. Jörg Stierstorfer– researcher at the University of Munich, Germany. Specialises in synthesis of new high explosives
  • Dr. Ben Schumann – physical science group leader Chemical glycobiology Laboratory at the Francis Crick Institute in London, United Kingdom.
  • Prof. dr. Anat Milo – researcher at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. Specialises in physical organic chemistry toward designing molecular functionality
  • Prof. dr. Wiktor Szymanski – Professor at our own university, working on the construction of photoactive protein- peptide- and DNA-bioconjugates and photopharmacology
  • Prof. dr. Evgeny Pidko – Director of the Inorganic Systems Engineering Research and researcher in molecular catalysis and theory of mechanics

Our chairman of the day will be prof. dr. Marthe Walvoort, associate professor in chemical glycobiology and founding member of Young Academy of Groningen

The symposium is scheduled for the whole day on Friday, the 19th of November in ‘Het Paleis’ (Boterdiep 111, 9718 RL Groningen). The ticket costs are free for members and 5€ for non-members. More information can be found here

We hope to see you all there!
