RESOLV spokesperson Martina Havenith reported on an international success story: the establishment of our sister institute California explores Solvation (CALSOLV) at the University of California, Berkeley in 2014. This has not only led to outstanding science but also benefits young researchers.
One pivotal goal of the partnershipis the exchange program, that gives students of RESOLV and CalSOLV studentships to visit the corresponding sister institute in USA/Germany for at least 2-3 months.
summer school Solvation Science
RESOLV hosts an annual summer school at ZEMOS, Ruhr-Universität Bochum. The school always takes place after Whitsun and is an integral part of the integrated Graduate School Solvation Science (iGSS) students' training during their doctoral studies. Scholarships for international students and PhD candidates are also available upon admission.
International speakers, suggested by a committee of iGSS students and RESOLV postdocs, are invited to give keynote talks on their research in the field of Solvation Science. In career-boosting workshops, school participants may meet industry professionals or fine-tune their personal skills. 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.
