"Scientific research is like an expedition to distant worlds. The explorers must overcome challenges. They don't know what awaits and must be open to new insights." - From the RESOLV Exhibition 'Völlig Losgelöst'
RESOLV was again awarded the Cluster of Excellence in Chemistry for the period of 2026 to 2032. Martina Havenith, the spokesperson of RESOLV, gives a short overview of research carried out at RESOLV.

RESOLV organizes or participates to scores of events, from conferences to outreach initiatives. Each event has different aims and target groups. For example, our itinerant exhibition "Völlig lösgelöst" explains Solvation Science and the research process to non-experts and children. With comics and hand-on experiments we give comprehensible answers to questions like “why are solvents important?” and “what role does solvation science play in our daily life?”. Stay up-to-date and check the RESOLV Events page, you will find an updated list of upcoming and past events, which you can filter according to the desired category.
We consider the social media a perfect addendum to the classic channels of communication, expecially with respect to a fast growing, multidisciplinary field like Solvation Science. If you want to be up to date with the bits and bites of our activities, follow us on Bluesky On our YouTube channel we collect explanatory videos about solvation science, specific research results and events. On our LinkedIn page we keep you updated on job offerings as well as networking events and highlight papers. On the Blog, mostly written by our iGSS students, we report about RESOLV events and students internships, deliver career tips, interview scientists and else.
The scientists of tomorrow. We strongly support the future choices of the younger generation and strive to improve them. Toghether with JUGEND FORSCHT, RESOLV invited pupils to see how modern cutting-edge research works. RESOLV regularly supports the organization of the nationwide Girls and Boys Day and opens the doors of its laboratories to interested pupils who signed up to learn more about Solvation Science and the profession of a researcher. RESOLV Summer Camp invites pupils to experience what it means to be a researcher during their summer vacation.
