Workshop "Energy Transformations - The Role of Chemistry" (15./16.11.2012; Karlsruhe)

program

The topics of the workshop at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) were not only energy transformations in the narrower sense, but all aspects of energy and their role in and for chemistry. These include energy generation, storage and conversion, questions of energy efficiency, modeling and accounting, studies and teaching.

Workshop "Restructuring of the Energy System - Contributions from Chemistry" (February 24, 2011; Berlin)

The aim of the workshop on February 24, 2011 in Berlin was to promote the exchange of ideas between science, politics, associations and the media. Lecture program:
