In winter semester 2011/2012 the graduate study course on  “Catalysis: Fundamental Aspects and Common Principles” will be held at Ulm University.

The course is designed for PhD students in chemistry who want to intensify their knowledge in modern catalysis and related subjects. (more...)

Organization of the course

The course will begin with a two day introductory course on the 21st and 22nd of October 2011 in Wissenschaftszentrum der Universität Ulm in Schloss Reisensburg.

Regular lectures will be scheduled every other week. In 2011/12, the lecture takes place alternating Friday at 10:30 -12:00 and 13:15-15:45 in lecture hallH16 at Ulm University. Date of the first lecture is November the 4th.
