In occasion of the “International Day of Women and Girls in Science”, Bonifazi group @ Institute of Organic Chemistry, UniWien, is organizing IUPAC Global Women’s Breakfast 2022 taking place online on February 16th.

The aim is to celebrate the accomplishments of women in science and to inspire younger generations to pursue careers in science.

The theme for this year is “Empowering Diversity in Science”. The program will include talks from scientists in academia and industry on their personal experiences as women in science. To create mutual connections, there will be a theme quiz and a panel discussion.

Sponsored by two of our on going EU projects, VIT and STiBNite, the summer school took place at the UniVie Skylounge conference room on 4-5 July 2022.

We were delighted to host stimulating lectures both by external speakers and consortia representatives on the topic of self-assembled organic materials.

Big thanks to our wonderful speakers Renaud Nicolay, Francesco Picchioni, Chiara Gualandi, Timothy Swager, Richard Kelly, Laura Maggini, Takuji Hatakeyama, Emilio Perez, Milan Kivala, Susana Otero, Alexander Kros!

These projects have received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie-Sklodowska-Curie grant agreements No 956923 and 101008237.

Gianvito Romano, Dong Min Lee and Dr Antoine Stopin participated to the Ö1Kinderuni Im Rahmen Der Science Holidays 2020, to introduce local schoolchildren to the research they perform as part of the Decochrom and Charisma EU funded projects. The children were introduced to the concepts of electricity, circuits, batteries and devices, and enjoyed preparing “lemon batteries” and use them to light up LEDs and electrochromic displays.
