Chemical Experiments from Christmas to New Year's Eve

Once again, a Christmas lecture will take place at the Institute of Chemistry in 2024, this year presented by the Chemistry Didactics Working Group. On this occasion, we aim to combine bright, educational, and loud chemical experiments with a festive atmosphere. The mulled wine available afterwards will certainly contribute to the celebration.

This year, the Chemistry Student representatives, in collaboration with individual staff members at the institute under the direction of Dr. Carsten Dosche, prepared a Christmas lecture. In a cosy atmosphere the end of the year was celebrated in a space of togetherness in which students, professors, and institute staff could participate. This year, there also were some "dancing gummy bears," "burning soap bubbles," and a romantic "shower of gold" (you can find the full programme here -in German only-).

During the lecture, the Chemistry Student Association awarded the "Award for Best Teaching in Chemistry":

• The module che160: Chemistry of the Elements with Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Beckhaus and Prof. Dr. Thomas Müller was awarded as the best bachelor module.
• The module che450: Structural Analysis of Inorganic Compounds using Modern Methods with Prof. Dr. Thomas Müller, Dr. Lena Albers, and Dr. Alexander Weiz received the award for the best master module.
• Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Frank Rößner was honored as the most dedicated lecturer.
