"Plasmon-assisted catalysis - mechanistic aspects"

 

In the winter-semester 2021/22 the seminar will take place as a hybrid event every
second Friday at 12.15 in Room 28.0.102 and simultaneously via Zoom.

The link will be communicated via e-mail. Some speakers plan to come to Potsdam, others prefer to be only virtually present.

In this case there will be "public viewing" of the presentation on Campus Golm in Room 28.0.102.
