Award ceremony for L2 Chemistry students
Our chemistry students in the spotlight!
The awards ceremony took place on Thursday, December 9, 2021.
The L2 Chemistry program is organizing its third awards ceremony to congratulate students who have distinguished themselves during the past academic year. This annual event is also an opportunity for L2 and L3 students (chemistry and physics-chemistry) to attend one or more public lectures.
Following a conference in 2017 on new approaches to cancer chemotherapy (by Professor S. Papot, University of Poitiers), a conference in 2018 dedicated to the chemistry of love (by Professor M. Hibert, University of Strasbourg), followed by a break imposed by health restrictions, two new conferences were held this year. These allowed students to discover two highly original and little-known topics in chemistry, such as chemistry and the origins of life (Dr. R. Pascal, University of Aix-Marseille, conferenceentitled " What can guide chemistry towards spontaneous organization?"), and the field of miniaturized synthetic engines at the molecular scale with the second international nanovehicle race to be held next spring (Professor G. Rapenne, University of Toulouse and Nara, lectureentitled "Prototypes of molecular machines: Engines, gears, and vehicles").
As head of the L2 chemistry program, I would like to thank everyone at the University of Montpellier who helped organize this event, the speakers, the chemistry department faculty who took time out of their busy schedules to congratulate the students on their respective modules, the students themselves, and a special mention to all the sponsors of this event, including the publishers, who support us in this moment of scientific sharing that brings together research and teaching.
