7th OC SYMPOSIUM for students

13 May 2026 15:30 - Lecture Hall I (Carl Auer von Welsbach Hörsaal)

This event is aimed at students interested in organic chemistry. In memory of Walther Schmid, a former professor at the Institute of Organic Chemistry, we will award a student for excellent performance in organic chemistry during their Bachelor studies. This is a yearly memorial award which is slowly becoming a tradition at our institute.

A further highlight will be the guest lecture given by Prof. Dr. Luca Dell´Amico (Università degli studi di Padova).

Participation is free of charge.
