Gerhard Ertl Lecture & Award

The Ertl Lecture Award was established in 2008 by the three Berlin universities (Humboldt University, Technical University and Free University) and the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society and is awarded once a year. It commemorates former FHI Director Gerhard Ertl's Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which he received in 2007. The prize honours outstanding personalities and researchers in the field of catalysis where Ertl carried out exceptional research for many decades. The prize, sponsored by BASF, includes a one-week research stay at the participating Berlin institutions and a keynote lecture. The winner is typically announced in Spring, the lecture takes place around the December 10th, the anniversary of Ertl's Nobel Prize reception.

Recently, the more than 20-year-old data archive of the AC department was replaced by a new version. In the seminar, this new release will be briefly presented and users will have the opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions. This local data infrastructure will also be used by cooperation partners in the ISC department, at the BasCat laboratory of the TU Berlin and at HZB. Colleagues who do not use this archive are welcome to take a look at this type of data archiving, which is especially tailored to research data generated in the study of functional materials. [more]
