The onlin e event will be held on Friday 13 November\, from 10:00 to 11:30 CET. Duri ng this event\, Raffaella Buonsanti\, EuChemS 2018 Lecturer\, will give a talk on “Colloidal chemistry for tunable nanocrystals as CO2 conversion catalysts".\nIn recognition of the major achievements of one junior scient ist working in chemistry in a country with a EuChemS Member Organisation\, Raffaella Buonsanti was awarded the EuChemS Lecture Award in 2018. Usuall y\, the winner gets the opportunity to give a lecture at the next European Chemistry Congress (ECC) or at a conference of a EuChemS Professional Net work (PN). However this year\, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the postpo nement of the 8th European Chemistry Congress (ECC8) to 2022\, the event w ill take place online.\n\n\n\n\nRegistration for this event is now open.\n Click on 'register here' to attend the webinar on 13 November 2020.\n\n➡ ️ REGISTER HERE\n\n\n\nProgramme:\n\n Welcome by Pilar Goya\, EuChemS P resident\n Introduction and Laudation by Barbara Ruth Albert\, Chair of t he International Award Committee for the EuChemS Lecture Award\n Colloida l chemistry for tunable nanocrystals as CO2 conversion catalysts\, Raffael la Buonsanti\, 2018 EuChemS Lecture Awardee\n\n Q&\;A Session 1\n Awa rd Certificate to Raffaella Buonsanti by Pilar Goya\n Introduction of nex t speakers by Raffaella Buonsanti\n Insights into reaction intermediates via in-situ X-Ray spectroscopy to predict synthetic pathways for shape-con trolled Cu nanocrystals\, Valeria Mantella\, PhD Student at EPFL\n\n Nano crystals as precursors in solid state reactions for size- and shape-contro lled polyelemental nanomaterials\, Chethana J Gadiyar\, PhD Student at EPF L\n Q&\;A Session 2\n Closing remarks by Pilar Goya\n\n[gdlr_accordio n style="style-1" initial="0"]\n[gdlr_tab title="Speakers"]\nPilar Goya\, EuChemS President\nPilar Goya is EuChemS President and research professor of the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) at the Instituto de Química Médic a of which she was the Director from 2005 to 2011. Vice President of the S panish Royal Society of Chemistry (RSEQ) until 2013\, she is currently the Vice President of the Spanish Society of Medicinal Chemistry (SEQT). She received her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Universidad Complutense Madrid an d was a postdoctoral Humboldt fellow in Konstanz\, Germany\, under Prof W. Pfleiderer´s supervision. From 1991 till 1996 she was Head of Internatio nal Affairs of CSIC\, she was a member of the Core Group of PESC (Physical and Engineering Sciences Committee) of the European Science Foundation\, ESF\, and Chair of the Chemistry Committee of the Marie Curie Fellowships of the EU.\nHer research deals with different aspects of medicinal chemist ry and drug design and is currently focused on cannabinoids and PPAR ligan ds targeting the SNC and obesity. She has published over 150 scientific pa pers\, 12 international patents\, and has directed 10 Ph.D. theses. As a f ormer member of the Ethics Committee of the CSIC\, she is interested in re search integrity issues and good scientific practices and is active in rea ching out to the general public has recently published a popular book on “Pain”.\n\n\n\n\nBarbara Ruth Albert\, Chair of the International Awar d Committee for the EuChemS Lecture Award\nBarbara Ruth Albert is Chair of the International Award Committee for the EuChemS Lecture Award. Barbara is a Professor at the Technische Universität Darmstadt. She studied chemi stry in Bonn\, Germany\, and received her PhD in 1995. Prof. Albert is an expert in all areas of boron chemistry\, ranging from synthesis\, theoreti cal calculations over structural features to the development of new functi onal materials. Her team works on new analytical approaches as well as for efront applications in solid state chemistry. Her awards include a grant f rom the Alexander von Humboldt foundation\, a Lise-Meitner grant\, the ADU C\, and the Bennigsen-Foerder award. She is a former President of Gesellsc haft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh).\n\n\n\n\nRaffaella Buonsanti\, 2018 EuChem S Lecture Awardee\nRaffaella Buonsanti obtained her PhD in Nanochemistry i n 2010 at the National Nanotechnology Laboratory in Lecce (Italy)\, with P rof. Davide Cozzoli. Then\, she moved to California where she spent over f ive years at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory\, first as a postdo c and project scientist at the Molecular Foundry\, with Prof. Delia Millir on (now at UT Austin)\, and after as a tenure-track staff scientist and pr incipal investigator in the Joint Centre for Artificial Photosynthesis (JC AP). She is currently a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering at EPFL in Switzerland.\n\n\n\n\nVale ria Mantella\, PhD Student at EPFL \n\nValeria Mantella is originally from Soverato\, in Italy. After she graduated from the “University of Sapien za” in Rome\, where she earned both a bachelor’s degree and a master ’s degree in Chemistry\, she moved to EPFL for her doctoral studies. She is currently working as PhD student on an SNSF granted project in the Lab oratory of Nanochemistry for Energy under the supervision of Professor Raf faella Buonsanti. Her PhD project focuses on the colloidal synthesis of Cu -based nanocrystals and study of their formation mechanisms by complementi ng in-situ X-Rays-based techniques and ex-situ electron microscopy analysi s. So far\, she has 9 peer reviewed publications\, 4 of them as a main aut hor. She has also presented her scientific results to several internationa l audiences and collaborators.\n\n\n\n\nChethana J Gadiyar\, PhD Student a t EPFL\nChethana J Gadiyar is originally from Mangalore\, in India. She di d her Bachelor studies in Chemical Engineering from National Institute of Technology Karnataka. She continued her Master studies in Process Technolo gy in Technische Universiteit Eindhoven\, Netherlands where she modelled c hemical reactions in novel reactors. She pursued her doctoral studies at E PFL in the Laboratory of Nanochemistry for Energy under the supervision of Professor Raffaella Buonsanti. Her project was focused on studying solid state reactions at the nanoscale to understand the formation of multinary metal oxides.\n[/gdlr_tab]\n\n[/gdlr_accordion]\n\n\nThe call for submissi ons for the EuChemS Lecture Award 2020 is currently open.
