CIQ (Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry) strives to conduct excellent research at the forefront of knowledge in two main areas: catalysis and renewable energy. 

The Catalysis Hub was established with EPSRC funding with the aim of initially establishing a world-leading, comprehensive, and coordinated program of catalysis science in the United Kingdom. 

The 1000 members of D-CHAB (Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences) investigate the molecular building blocks of nature and create new compounds and materials for a better life.

The FHI (Fritz Haber Institute) is an international research center where scientists from around the world investigate the fundamentals of chemical transformation of matter and energy at surfaces and interfaces. 

The goal of the researchers at FMP is to identify new bioactive molecules and characterize their interactions with their biological targets in cells or organisms. These compounds serve as valuable tools for biomedical basic research and can be further developed for the treatment, prevention, or diagnosis of diseases.

The "Institute for Catalysis Research," the precursor to LIKAT Rostock, was founded in Rostock in 1952, becoming the first research institute in Europe solely dedicated to catalysis. Today, the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis is one of the largest publicly funded research institutes in the field of applied catalysis in Europe.

Fundamental research at our institute provides a comprehensive understanding of the functioning of active centers of catalysts, which are essential for energy conversion and chemical bond transformation processes.

The focus of the work at the MPI (Max Planck Institute) is on the research and control of very small or thin structures at the nano- and micrometer scale. 

Stanford’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) focuses on the structures and properties of nanoscale components. This exciting area of engineering informs the direction of the curriculum.
