Prof. Edward Anderson, University of Oxford/U. K.
will hold a lecture on "From small rings to large – synthesis of natural and unnatural products"

We are excited to announce that Michael A. R. Meier, full professor for Applied Chemistry and Head of the Institute of Organic Chemistry at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), who will present the fifth LECTURE of the series.

We are excited to announce that Joerg Hellwig, Chief Digital Officer at LANXESS will present the fifth LECTURE of the series.

On Saturday, 15 June 2019 at 5:00 p.m. "The Long Night of the Sciences" will kick off for the 18th  time. You can visit the events of the “Long Night” program until midnight at approximately 70 scientific centers in Berlin and Potsdam.
The Institute of Chemistry and UniSysCat participate with an attractive program.
For the first time UniSysCat offers a rallye that covers several projects at TU Berlin, HU Berlin, FU Berlin and FHI Berlin.

This year UniSysCat took part of the Long Night of Sciences, dubbed as one of the “smartest nights of the year”, at the Chemistry Institute of the Technical University of Berlin.

Prof. Luc Brunsveld, Eindhoven University of Technology/NL will hold a lecture on "Stabilizing Protein-Protein Interactions; from natural products to supramolecular systems"

Prof. Daniel B. Werz, Technische Universität Braunschweig will hold a lecture on "Gain by Strain: Cyclopropanes as Spring-Loaded Entities for Chemical Synthesis"

Prof. Klaus Ditrich, BASF SE, will hold a lecture on
"Biocatalysis on an Industrial Scale"

On Thursday, 11 July 2019 at 1:00 p.m. UniSysCat is present on the 31. "Day of The Chemistry" in the Lichthof of Technische Universität Berlin.

Prof. Dr. Jan Paradies, Universität Paderborn, will hold a lecture on "FLP-catalyzed Reduction of Phosphine Oxides and Carboxylic Amides".

Professor Dr. Thorben Cordes
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, will hold a lecture on
