Prof. Ferdi Schüth has been named an honorary fellow of the Chinese Chemical Society for his contributions to sustainable catalysis and international collaboration.
To mark the 100th anniversary of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, a scientific conference will be held in Mülheim next year. Our institute will of course be taking part.
