HyPERiON Researchers Visit Prof. Wiegand's Group at RWTH Aachen University

On 27-28 August, members of the HyPERiON visited Prof. Wiegand's research group at RWTH Aachen University as part of the IRTG's industry and research partner visit program.

Prof. Wiegand's group conducts cutting-edge research in advanced NMR spectroscopy, molecular recognition, catalysis, mechanochemistry, protein interactions, and real-time NMR studies of chemical and biological processes. The visit provided an excellent opportunity for our doctoral researchers to gain insights into complementary research approaches and explore current developments in these fields.

The two-day program included scientific presentations from both HyPERiON and the Aachen research group, allowing participants to showcase their ongoing work and discuss recent research results. These discussions fostered valuable scientific exchange and highlighted potential areas for future collaboration.

A particular highlight of the visit was the tour of the laboratories, where participants gained first-hand impressions of the experimental facilities and ongoing research projects. The visit also offered ample opportunities for networking and informal discussions, enabling doctoral researchers to establish new scientific contacts and broaden their professional networks.

We would like to thank Prof. Wiegand and all members of his group for their warm welcome, the stimulating scientific discussions, and the opportunity to learn more about their exciting research activities. We look forward to continuing the exchange and strengthening the connection between our research groups in the future.

A special thank you goes to Hatice Baser, member of HyPERiON's IRTG Committee, for organising this year's company visits. Thank you for your commitment and for creating such a meaningful experience for our young researchers.
