Memorial Symposium Carsten Schmuck 2024

Symposium im memory of Carsten Schmuck
Dear colleagues, dear friends,
the passing of Prof. Dr. Carsten Schmuck in August 2019 has left behind a huge gap at the University of Duisburg-Essen. We still miss Carsten every day.
In memory of Carsten we are currently planning a half day symposium, highlighting his work, his achievements and his impact on all of us.
This symposium was originally planned for 2021, but had to be postponed because of COVID. However, postponed is not forgotten, so we would like to invite you to Essen on July 8th 2024 at 15:00 to join this memorial symposium.
The program will include a talk about Carsten´s research and a plenary talk by Prof. Peter Wich (former PhD of the Schmuck group).
After the symposium we would like to invite you to have dinner with us and to use this opportunity to remember Carsten and meet friends and colleagues in summer 2024 in Essen.For registration:
Please send a short confirmation E-Mail to nina.harder@uni-due.de until 31.03.2024. Please let us know if you want to join for the symposium and/or the dinner (free of charge) and if you have any special dietary requirements.
With kind regards and hoping to see you in summer 2024 in Essen
Michael Giese, Christoph Hirschhäuser, Jochen Niemeyer and Jens Voskuhl
