Molecular Heterogeneous Catalysis in Confined Geometries
On May 24, 2025, the University of Stuttgart opened its doors to the public for Science Day (Tag der Wissenschaft), inviting visitors of all ages to experience research and teaching up close. Laboratories, exhibits, and lecture halls offered hands-on experiments, interactive demonstrations, and exciting insights into current scientific topics. The CRC 1333 had its own … Read more
A warm welcome to Jun.-Prof. Dr. Kenichi Endo who has been appointed as “Junior professor for Catalysis in Confined Geometries” on May 08, 2025. Before his professorship he has been part of the CRC 1333 as a postdoc in project A03 and we are happy to see him emerge to an independent researcher now. The … Read more
From April 9–10, 2025, the CRC 1333 hosted the two-day workshop, “FAIR Research Data Management: Basics for Chemists,” in collaboration with NFDI4Chem and the University of Stuttgart. The event brought together early-career researchers and chemists interested in developing a strong foundation in research data management (RDM). Expert instructors Dr. Annett Schröter from NFDI4Chem and Dr. … Read more
Each year, the CRC 1333 Bachelor’s and Master’s Prizes honor early-career researchers whose thesis work has significantly contributed to identifying and understanding the directing effects of defined geometries in catalysis, as outlined by the project’s goal. The Bachelor’s Prize is endowed with EUR 500, and the Master’s Prize with EUR 1,000. Both prizes were awarded … Read more
The annual CRC 1333 Status Meeting took place in Bad Wimpfen from May 5-7, 2025. All members of the CRC gathered for this three-day event, which serves as a central forum to present current research, exchange ideas and, disuss strategies and expectations for the continued development of the CRC 1333. This year’s seminar naturally placed … Read more
