6th SEC Annual Meeting in Münster: 18–20 May 2016

In 2016, too, we continued the successful SEC annual meetings. The venue was the historic university town of Münster. Our Conference took place in the large Physics Lecture Theatre HS 1 at Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 9. The annual meeting took place from:

18–20 May 2016

In 2016, too, the focus was on high-calibre presentations that are particularly relevant to senior chemists and present the latest developments in an accessible way (see “Presentations” below). In Münster, we placed particular emphasis on involving young chemists, especially in the form of posters.

In Münster, too, we invited senior chemists to present their “retirement” activities of any kind in the form of posters. We had already had good experience with this in Braunschweig ; there were often lively discussions in front of the posters, and participants were able to take home many ideas and suggestions.

A detailed report appeared in ‘Nachrichten aus der Chemie’: Nachr. Chem. 2016, 64, 923.
