We congratulate our former director, Professor Klaus Müllen. He has received, together with Professor Makoto Fujita, the "Grand Prix 2022 de la Fondation de la Maison de la Chimie" for his significant work at the frontier between chemistry and materials science. Specifically, he was awarded the prize for his work on graphene structures, combining organic electronics and carbon-based nanomaterials. The prize will be handed over in Paris on February 8 and comes with 50,000 euros and a bronze medal.
