Participating Institutions

27 principal investigators of 21 research groups from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, the Max-Planck-Institute für chemische Energiekonversion and Kohlenforschung (both Mülheim/Ruhr) and the Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (Berlin) have joined forces to establish the CRC/TRR 247 with an ambitious research program, that comprehensively investigates the Heterogeneous oxidation catalysis in the liquid phase. The CRC/TRR 247 started in 2018 and is now in its second funding period.
