Freigeist Fellowship successfully extended

Through an external evaluation, the König group has succeeded in extending the Freigeist Fellowship for three more years of funding. The external reviewers were Harald Giessen (reviewer focusing on optics and metamaterials), Andreas Walther (chemistry and self-assembly), and Luis Liz Marzán (self-assembly and synthesis).
The Freigeist Fellowships funded by the Volkswagen Foundation support excellent young scientists who wish to pursue exceptional, risk-taking science between established research fields. The Freigeist Fellow becomes a catalyst for overcoming professional, institutional, and national boundaries through forward-thinking.

KingsLab toasts the successful extension of the Freigeist-Fellowship.
