Seminarreihe "Fokus Materialchemie"

The seminar series of the Institute of Materials Chemistry will take place in presence in the winter semester 2025/26. The semester program will be available here. A list of held sessions and their abstracts can be found in the archive.

I ask for the submission of the presentations that should be held as part of the institute seminar in the coming semester by 1.10. fur students of 165.165 and 165.113. Ideally, two students can present at one date (20 minutes each+ 10 minutes discussion - for registration modalities see TISS).

Invited speakers have a whole session (45 min + 15 min discussion) for their presentation. Please submit interesting proposals.

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