Student-Led Conference (StuCon)

This year’s Student-Led-Conference (StuCon), a jointly organized initiative from the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung and the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (CEC), will take place from 27^th to 29^th August this year. The goal for the students is to further connect among each other and to be able to learn about each other’s research and exchange ideas. Presentations and poster sessions are planned to promote mutual understanding. The focus is not only on the academic aspects and on the science itself but the students have the possibility to talk among peers about their future career paths. Additionally, on the 29^th August an Alumni Get-Together is part of the program and invites all alumni of MPI CEC and MPI für Kohlenforschung to reconnect and share perspectives and ideas.
