International Faculty

The International Faculty (IF) Solvation Science is an international network of top institutions reaching from the US to Europe and Asia, whose aim is to foster long-term scientific collaborations. It is a strategic key element to promote the exchange of knowledge, people, and ideas between leading scientists at all levels of their scientific careers in the field of Solvation Science.

We have established an international network with leading scientists in the field. RESOLV supports the mutual exchange with scientists from the following institutions:
