Science excellence: Prof. Studer receives prestigious award!

Münster, Deutschland - On June 3, 2025, Prof. Dr. Armido Studer from the University of Münster awarded the Adolf-von-Baeyer-Denk coin of the Society of German Chemists (GDCH). Studer recognizes this honor as one of the internationally leading scientists in organic chemistry, especially in radical chemistry. The monument is endowed with 7500 euros and recognizes the winners' significant contributions in his field. The award is named after Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Adolf von Baeyer, an influential German chemist of the 19th century, which became known for his work on organic chemistry and chemical industry, including the synthesis of the dye indigo.

Adolf von Baeyer, who lived from 1835 to 1917, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1905. He developed significant theories and methods that form the basis for modern chemistry and is recognized for his research in the organic dye industry, especially between 1865 and 1885. His work significantly contributed to the growth of this industry, even if they personally did not earn any major financial income. Before taking over a professorship in Munich, he trained with renowned chemists such as Robert Bunsen and August Kekulé.

In addition to the award of Prof. Dr. Studer announced the University of Münster that Prof. Dr. Ursula Frohne, an art historian, and Prof. Dr. Eva Viehmann, a mathematician, were included in the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences and the Arts. These appointments reflect the versatility and excellence of the academic community at the university.

In another important event, Dr. Felicity Ann Jensz appointed Fellow of the British Royal Historical Society. This recognition appreciates its outstanding achievements in historical research.

Jackson Moot Court Competition" in Amsterdam. You will now represent the university in the final oral round in Geneva.

additional funding and mourning case

Prof. Dr. Kai Schmitz was also included in the "Henriette Herz-Scouting program", which aims to win research talents for a Humboldt scholarship. This Initiative is part of the efforts to promote scientific excellence in Germany.

Unfortunately, the University of Münster also mourns the loss of Stefan Voß, who was born on April 20, 1967 and died on May 22, 2025. Voß worked at the Institute for Art History and leaves a gap in the academic community.

The important awards and news at the University of Münster underline the vitality and influence of research and teaching there, as well as the ongoing connection with the traditional roots of chemistry.
