Conference "Growing with Chemistry"

The second edition of the conference "Growing with Chemistry" took place on 27-28 June 2024 at the Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague. This event was primarily aimed at young chemists under 35 years of age. The organizers managed to follow up on last year's successful event, which started a common meeting, discussion, networking and mutual motivation. Once again, the motto of the conference "Growing with Chemistry" was successfully lived up to. Several students from our faculty represented the University of Chemical Technology in Prague at this event. The two-day student meeting benefited from the support of the Faculty of Science of Charles University, the Czech Chemical Society and other sponsors and partners, which ensured a valuable experience for all participants.  The prize for the best lecture and poster was sponsored by Metrohm. In addition, three honorary prizes were awarded. The winners received a one-year membership to the Czech Chemical Society and gifts from the sponsors. We are proud that one of these prizes was awarded to Nina Nováková from the Department of Chemical Engineering for her lecture "Biomimetic behaviour in chemical systems: formation of myelin figures" (co-authored by her supervisor Jitka Čejková and Jan Macháček). This award highlights the quality and impact of her work. We congratulate Nina and thank all the participants from our faculty for their exemplary representation of VŠCHT Praha.
