New molecules for new materials: Chemistry Research Training Group receives millions in funding
Covalent bonds are the backbone of our world. A research training group at Saarland University has now been approved to get to the bottom of the targeted manipulation of these atomic bonds and thus pave the way for new materials. The German Research Foundation is funding the project with around 6.3 million euros.

July-September 2021: Visit of Mr. Marko Wojtkowiak
We welcome Marko Wojtkowiak. Marko joins our group for 6 weeks as internship student from University College, London.
About us
Our group is part of the Saarland University, located in Saarbrücken, Germany. Saarbrücken is a major city of the SaarLorLux region, and capital of the German state of Saarland. It has become a renowned centre of science, hosting several universities and research institutes and facilities (the Saarland University, the University of Applied Sciences, two Max Planck Institutes - just to name a few), giving it the flavor of a typical university and research town.
More information about the city can be found at the city's official website (also in French, and German).
How to get here
By train:
Saarbrücken is connected to the Deutsche Bahn's (German Railways) ICE and IC/EC high-speed network. Saarbrücken Central Station [Saarbrücken Hbf - Hauptbahnhof] runs several daily services to Paris and Frankfurt (less than 2 hours long), and to other cities in eastern France (Metz, Strasbourg, Nancy), western/southern Germany (Kaiserslautern, Trier, Mainz, Mannheim, Karlsruhe), and Luxembourg.
For more information see the Deutsche Bahn website.
By plane:
- The Saarbrücken-Ensheim Airport (SCN) is about 15 km / 9 mi from the city center. From there the city center can be reached by local bus (the R 10 line) or simply by taxi.
- The Frankfurt Airport (FRA) (the biggest airport in Germany, located in Frankfurt am Main), is about 170 km / 105 mi from Saarbrücken. Using public transportation, it is a direct trip (approx. 2 hours) by train from the Frankfurt Airport Regional Station [Frankfurt (Main) Flughafen Regionalbahnhof] to the Saarbrücken Central Station.
- The Luxembourg Findel Airport (LUX) is about 100 km / 62 mi from Saarbrücken. It is possible to reach Saarbrücken via Luxembourg's Central Station [Luxembourg Gare Centrale], which can be reached by a frequent 25-minute bus ride.
