Scoping Workshop “Nanoconfinement in Chemistry”, 27. – 29. November, 2024, Hannover
Prof. Matthias Thommes was an invited lecturer at this prestigious event, which was organized by Prof. Annette Andrieu-Brunsen (TU Darmstadt, Germany), Prof. Omar Azzaroni (INIFTA, La Plata, Argentina) and Prof. Galo Soler-Illia (UNSAM, San Martin, Argentina) with support by the VolkswagenStiftung.
This workshop aimed to encourage a reflection and further development of the interdisciplinary research area and community related to nanoconfinement in chemistry – tinkering with nanoporous architectures to solve contemporary societal issues.
The current status of this field of research was assessed and, on this basis, perspectives for its further development were discussed and worked out. This included the exchange about how this field of research is doing; what could be done differently in it; what potentials exist and how they could be realized; and how we can initiate developments. Thus, discussion and intensive exchange together with developing a community able and willing to tackle the identified future perspectives are were the core of the scoping workshop.
The workshop consisted of following Session Topics:
- Material fabrication today and tomorrow
- Session TOPIC 3: Modeling: from explanation to predictive tools
- Session TOPIC 4: Confinement-derived properties
- Session TOPIC 5: (new) confinement-based technologies and social impact
