Feringa-Harutyunyan-Otten-Barta joined Workweek 2014 2nd-5th of June 2014
We are very pleased to announce for this year a joint Chemistry Symposium at the Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires (ISIS) of the University of Strabourg with the research groups of Prof. Luisa De Cola, Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn and Prof. Michael J. Chetcuti. You will have the great opportunity to attend 6 plenary talks from Prof. Luisa De Cola, Prof. Ben L. Feringa, Prof. Nicolas Giuseppone, Prof. Michael J. Chetcuti, Prof. Paolo Samorì and Prof. Katalin Barta. The symposium will be also composed by talks from 6 PhD students and Post-Docs, belonging to both Groningen and Strasbourg Universities, and a poster session, where more space and time will be provided for exchanging knowledge and ideas between the reasearch groups. Eventually, both days will concluded by a Workshop, starrring on the second day Prof. Hervé This and his discoveries in the field of Molecular Gastronomy.

Special Guest: Prof. Hervé This
Hervé This is a French physical chemist who works for the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique at AgroParisTech, in Paris. His main area of scientific research is molecular gastronomy, that is the science of culinary phenomena (more precisely, looking for the mechanisms of phenomena occurring during culinary transformations). He obtained a Ph.D from the University Paris VI, under the title "La gastronomie moléculaire et physique". He has written many scientific publications, as well as several books on the subject, which can be understood even by those who have little or no knowledge of chemistry. In 2011, he was elected as a Consulting Professor of AgroParisTech. Although his main focus is on physical chemistry, he also attributes great importance to the emotional aspect of cooking, as the title of one of his books shows: "Cooking is love, art, technique".
