RESOLV Retreat 2026

We were represented with two poster contributions at this year's retreat of the RESOLV Cluster of Excellence at the Hotel Residence Klosterpforte in Harsewinkel. The three-day event brought together researchers from various disciplines to discuss current developments in solvation science, exchange research findings and initiate new collaborations. The scientific program included presentations on topics such as machine learning for solvent development, data-driven research and the linking of chemistry and process engineering in industrial processes.

We are particularly pleased that Maximilian Gstettenbauer was awarded first place in the poster competition. The award recognizes the outstanding quality of his research work and the convincing presentation of his results to the RESOLV community.

We would like to thank for the inspiring discussions and look forward to continuing the interdisciplinary exchange at future RESOLV events.
