How can the greenhouse gas CO₂ be converted into valuable resources? The new SPECTRE Research Training Group, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with over six million euros, is dedicated to precisely this central question. With an interdisciplinary team from chemistry, physics and catalysis - and anchored in the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis Research and the Department of LLM - an ambitious research and training project is being launched that combines science and sustainability.
The Research Training Group is researching innovative approaches to the sustainable utilisation of carbon dioxide in order to convert the greenhouse gas into valuable carbon compounds. The team of speakers, consisting of Professor Ralf Ludwig, Professor Stefan Lochbrunner, Dr Jola Pospech and Professor Torsten Beweries, brings in expertise from various disciplines and thus strengthens the research excellence of the Department LLM.
SPECTRE's structured training programme offers doctoral students excellent academic qualifications and individual supervision. It emphasises the key role of the RTG in the promotion of young scientists and the development of future-oriented technologies.
