German Research Foundation approves new Research Training Group

Many researchers from Münster and Nagoya will supervise the future Research Training Group. WWU - Studer Five million euros for bilateral cooperation in chemistry / Universities of Münster and Nagoya (Japan) develop "next-generation materials" The University of Münster is establishing a new Research Training Group funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). An international team of 23 researchers from the universities of Münster and Nagoya in Japan is standing behind the doctoral program entitled "Functional pi-Systems: Activation, Interaction and Application". The experts will focus on the interface between materials research and organic synthesis as well as catalysis and biological applications. The Research Training Group will receive funding of around five million euros for an initial period of four and a half years. The spokespersons of the program are Prof. Armido Studer from the Organic Chemistry Institute of the WWU and Prof. Shigehiro Yamaguchi from Nagoya University. pi-Systems are ubiquitous - in our everyday life and in nature.
