The Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society is delighted to announce that Dr. Baran Eren has been awarded the prestigious Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship. This esteemed fellowship will support Dr. Eren's research endeavors over the next one and a half years, commencing in October 2025. Since January 2025, Dr. Eren has been a guest in the Physical Chemistry Department, collaborating with Dr. Hendrik Bluhm and Prof. Dr. Martin Wolf. 

From October 6 to 10, the International Max Planck Research School for Elementary Processes in Physical Chemistry (IMPRS-EPPC) organized a lecture series about the latest developments, approaches and methods of physics and chemistry relating to sustainability.

This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to the three researchers Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.” The institute extends its warmest congratulations to all three! We are particularly delighted about the success of Omar M. Yaghi, who received the Gerhard Ertl Lecture Award in 2021.

The two International Max Planck Research Schools (IMPRS) of the Fritz Haber Institute and the Max Planck Institute for Human Development jointly organized an eye-opening workshop called “Breaking the Cycle: Embracing Menstrual Health in the Workplace”. The workshop provided valuable suggestions for improving working conditions for menstruating persons.
