… New Faculty since 2012. In five years, RESOLV has succeeded to appoint 9 new professorships, most of them to female researchers.  Learn more about the new faculty ZEMOS - Home of Solvation Science.  Officially opened in 2016, ZEMOS is the first research building for Solvation Science in the world. It offers the most advanced facilities in spectroscopy, simulation and solvation to more than 100 scientists. Learn more about the new research building

…Graduate School Solvation Science The Graduate School Solvation Science (Dean: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Marcus Petermann) was established at the beginning of 2013 and is a new international Graduate School for doctoral students. It was born out of the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV and is thematically closely linked with solvation science. The school aims at combining high-profile research and early scientific independence along with internationalization and gender mainstreaming. We offer a three-year structured graduate programme that combines cutting-edge research with a structured curriculum of lectures,…

… Summer School Solvation Science 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. Registration              We encourage keen and motivated Master and PhD students with an interest in Solvation Science, both from our local partner institutes and international students, to apply for a place at our Summer…

… Under the direction of theoretical chemist Teresa Head-Gordon and laser spectroscopist Richard Saykally, several groups at UC Berkeley have established the local research consortium California explores Solvation (CALSOLV). Since 2014, Berkeley scientists address the intricate details of solvation in close collaboration with the researchers in Germany. The RESOLV/CALSOLV partnership thrives on topics such as X-ray spectroscopy of liquids and solutions, enzyme catalysis, and ab initio calculations of solvated structures and chemical reactions. The RuhrCal collaboration has started to produce multiple joint…

… students are the future scientists. With the  Alfried Krupp School Laboratory, RESOLV wants to give students of age 14-16 the opportunity to perform their first inquiries and experiments. But RESOLV aims also at the teachers of those students: In 2017 we prepared a special issue on Solvation in the renewed magazine "Chemie in unserer Zeit". On the other hand we organize workshops, events and excursions to bring RESOLV in touch with the industry: For example, in 2015 RESOLV participated as exhibitor at the  ACHEMA2015, a chemical industry fair.  Explore…
