RUHR EXPLORES SOLVATION SCIENCE
We shape a new scientific discipline, inspire the scientists of tomorrow, and enable future technologies
GSS Summer School: 6-9 June 2017
This years' Summer School of the Graduate School Solvation Science takes place in ZEMOS/RUB.
WE ARE RESOLV
Over 200 scientists from about 50 research groups in 7 institutions
WHAT is RESOLV?
The Cluster of Excellence RESOLV is a joint research project of about fifty research groups from seven institutions in the German Ruhr area. Since 2012, we use cutting-edge experimental and computational techniques to understand the role of solvents at the molecular detail in the most diverse chemical processes. For example, we investigate the influence of water in vital biological processes as well as the effects of solvents on synthesis and catalytic reactions. Our research lays the foundations for major advances in key green and medical technologies. RESOLV is funded with 28 Mio. EUR by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Video: The solvent of life
Water. It’s the most abundant substance on Earth´s surface and in our bodies. But is water a passive spectator in the animated scene of bio-chemical reactions inside our cells? RESOLV scientists investigate the important role that water plays in the most diverse processes, bringing solvation science into the spotlight. More videos from RESOLV.
gss summer school
The Graduate School Solvation Science hosts an annual Summer School at the Ruhr University Bochum. The school always takes place during Whitsuntide and is an integral part of the GSS students' training during their doctoral studies. The fourth GSS Summer School takes place from the 6th to the 9th of June, 2017.
International speakers, suggested by the students themselves, are invited to give keynote talks on their research in the field of Solvation Science. The Advanced Laboratory Modules give the students an excellent opportunity to learn new and interesting experimental and theoretical techniques within a specific research topic of their own choice. In 2017 the program of the Summer School will comprise a career day, in addition.
