Seminarreihe "Fokus Materialchemie"

The seminar series of the Institute of Materials Chemistry will take place in presence in the winter semester 2026. The semester program will be available here. A list of held sessions and their abstracts can be found in the archive.

I kindly request that you submit the presentations to be held as part of the institute seminar in the coming semester by registered participants of courses 165.165 and 165.113 by October 7, 2026. Ideally, two students can present a thesis on one date (20 min + 10 min discussion each). (see TISS for registration details).

Invited speakers will have an entire session (45 min + 15 min discussion) available for their presentation. I welcome interesting proposals.

Please send abstracts to and julia.roll@tuwien.ac.at using the template.
