3rd Fluorine Summer School and Conference of the CRC 1349 in Berlin
6.-9.10.2025, Arnimallee 22, Freie Universität Berlin, Campus Dahlem
Jun 13, 2025
In order to transfer the experience and knowledge gained in the CRC 1349 to non-participating research groups, we will host our 3rd Summer School in 2025, followed by a two-day conference. In addition to researchers from the CRC, invited speakers from Germany and abroad will give lectures over two days on various aspects of fluorine chemistry. During the two-day conference, several scientists will present their research fundings. We will also visit the Elemental Fluorine Laboratory of the Riedel research group at the Department of Biology, Chemistry and Pharmacy at the Freie Universität Berlin
