Description

The Institute of Chemistry at the University of Potsdam is part of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The laboratories and research groups at the Institute of Chemistry cover all aspects of the chemical sciences. Research fields range from inorganic and organic to physical & theoretical, and polymer chemistry. The Institute of Chemistry is involved in two faculty-wide programs on „Functional Soft Matter“ and „Life Sciences“. Moreover, the Institute is home to the graduate school “Sustainable Chemistry”, which was established by the State of Brandenburg in 2007. Finally, the research groups have strong ties with the other institutes of the University of Potsdam, but also with the Berlin Universities, the surrounding non-university institutes such as the Max Planck and Fraunhofer Institutes located at the Science Park (Wissenschaftspark) Golm. Numerous national and international research institutions exist as well.
