Jürgen Caro
Jürgen Caro (born 27 December 1951 in Burgstädt, Saxony) is a German chemist. Life and career Caro studied chemistry at Leipzig University from 1970 to 1974. His PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) work on diffusion in zeolites was done from 1975 to 1977 at the Physical Institute of the Leipzig University under the supervision of Jörg Kärger. After 1977, Caro was a postdoc at the Central Institute for Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences (AdW) of the GDR in Berlin-Adlershof. He worked in different positions, by the end as Vice Director, in the fields of gas adsorption, heterogeneous catalysis and membrane permeation. In 1989 he earned the title Dr. sc. nat. with a thesis on the influence of mass transport in zeolite catalysis. After the closure of the Academy of Sciences by 31 December 1991, Caro founded the research group "Nano-Composites". This group was the germ cell of the Department of "Functional materials" in the newly founded Institute of Applied Chemistry (ACA). Un ...

Leipzig University Alumni
Leipzig (, ; ; Upper Saxon: ; ) is the most populous city in the German state of Saxony. The city has a population of 628,718 inhabitants as of 2023. It is the eighth-largest city in Germany and is part of the Central German Metropolitan Region. The name of the city is usually interpreted as a Slavic term meaning ''place of linden trees'', in line with many other Slavic placenames in the region. Leipzig is located about southwest of Berlin, in the southernmost part of the North German Plain (the Leipzig Bay), at the confluence of the White Elster and its tributaries Pleiße and Parthe. The Leipzig Riverside Forest, Europe's largest intra-city riparian forest, has developed along these rivers. Leipzig is at the centre of Neuseenland (''new lake district''). This district has several artificial lakes created from former lignite open-pit mines. Leipzig has been a trade city since at least the time of the Holy Roman Empire. Via Regia and the Via Imperii, two importa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

ENI Award
The Eni Award is a prize awarded by the Italian oil and gas company Eni with the aim of encouraging better use of energy sources and increased environmental research. The strict award guidelines and the notable names on the selection committee (including Nobel laureates) make Eni a coveted award. List of Eni award winners include Nobel laureates like Harry Kroto and Alan J. Heeger. Some websites and magazines (Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei) have called the Eni award the " Nobel prize of energy research". The scientific committee of the Eni award includes representatives from Stanford University, MIT, Cambridge, University of Stuttgart, Florida State University, University of Pisa, University of Texas at Austin, and others. The annual Eni award was launched in July 2007, foreseen by the group's Technological Master Plan. The Eni award extends and replaces the Eni-Italgas Prize, previously known as the Italgas Prize, which in 2006 had reached its XIX edition. Award selection The aw ...

German Chemical Society
The German Chemical Society () is a learned society and professional association founded in 1949 to represent the interests of German chemists in local, national and international contexts. GDCh "brings together people working in chemistry and the molecular sciences and supports their striving for positive, sustainable scientific advance – for the good of humankind and the environment, and a future worth living for."Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh)About us, Mission Statement and History History The earliest precursor of today's GDCh was the German Chemical Society (', DChG). Adolf von Baeyer was prominent among the German chemists who established DChG in 1867; and August Wilhelm von Hofmann was the first president. This society was modeled after the British Chemical Society, which was the precursor of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Like its British counterpart, DChG sought to foster the communication of new ideas and facts throughout Germany and across international bo ...
