Osoby zainteresowane rozmową lub uczestnictwem w wykładzie prosimy o wcześniejsze zgłoszenia do koordynatora wizyty: dr Róża Szweda, Lider Zespołu Badawczego Funkcjonalnych Makrocząteczek w Łukasiewicz – PORT: roza.szweda@port.lukasiewicz.gov.pl.

Profesor Richard Hoogenboom przyjedzie do Wrocławia z gościnnym wykładem w ramach programu Visiting Professors to cykl wizyt znanych naukowców, artystów, ludzi biznesu z całego świata, współfinansowanych przez Miasto Wrocław (fundusz Scientiae Wratislavienses). Goście przyjeżdżają do stolicy Dolnego Śląska na zaproszenie Prezydenta Wrocławia, rektorów wrocławskich uczelni i dyrektorów instytutów naukowych, takich jak Łukasiewicz PORT. Visiting Professors daje możliwość wymiany myśli, idei i doświadczeń pomiędzy naukowcami z Wrocławia a zagranicznymi gośćmi, wzbogacając w ten sposób wrocławskie środowisko naukowe i nadając mu międzynarodowy charakter. W wykładach mogą uczestniczyć wszyscy zainteresowani wrocławianie.

W ramach wizyty profesor przygotował też dodatkowe warsztaty i wykłady dla środowiska naukowego, które zaplanowano zarówno w Łukasiewicz – PORT, jak i na Politechnice Wrocławskiej.

Visiting Professors: prof. Richard Hoogenboom

The guest of the next edition of our seminar series will be an outstanding researcher of polymers, prof. Richard Hoogenboom. On October 15th (Thursday) in Łukasiewicz – PORT, he will give workshops and science lectures dedicated to broad audience about polymer materials. His visit is a part of the Visiting Professors program.

Professor Richard Hoogenboom from the University of Ghent, Belgium is one of the world’s leading scientists in the field of polymer chemistry. He has over 400 scientific publications to his credit, which have been cited nearly 20,000 times, with his Hirsh Index 65. He is a laureate of many prestigious awards, including the Carl S. Marvel Award for Creative Polymer Chemistry Award funded by POLY division of the American Chemical Society (2020).

At 10.00 a.m. professor Hoogenboom will start with the lecture on topic of smart materials based on poly(2-oxazoline)s, titled: Poly(2-oxazoline)s as potent(ial) biomaterials.  Abstract.

At 12.00 noon we invite you to a popular science open lecture dedicated to non-specialist audience. Professor Hoogenboom will explain that in this days polymers are something much more than plastic, title: Polymers – from plastics to smart materials. Abstract.

After the lecture we’ve planned a discussion.

Place: Łukasiewicz PORT, ul. Stabłowicka 147, Building 1, Auditorium, 1st floor.

Due to the pandemic restrictions, we would like to inform you that a limited number of seats will be available in the room and audience should be provided with masks.

You can also participate in the online lectures. The link to the broadcast: https://bit.ly/3lIo60k

From 2.00 p.m. we are inviting you to workshops on several subjects: Research commercialization – From fundamental research to spin-off company: how AVROXA was founded?, publishing – How to efficiently disseminate your research?, Chemistry: Polymer chemistry including chemistry of poly(2-oxazoline)s.

On the day of the lecture, it will be possible to meet the professor individually upon prior registration. If you want to participate in the events please register – contact the visit’s coordinator in advance: Róża Szweda, Ph.D, Leader of the Functional Macromolecules Group in Łukasiewicz – PORT: roza.szweda@port.lukasiewicz.gov.pl.

Professor Richard Hoogenboom will come to Wrocław with a guest lecture as part of the Visiting Professors program this is a series of visits of famous scientists, artists, business people from around the world, co-financed by the city through Scientiae Wratislavienses fund. Guests come to the capital of Lower Silesia at the invitation of the President of Wrocław, rectors of Wrocław universities and directors of scientific institutes, such as Łukasiewicz PORT and the organization of visits are undertaken by universities and institutes. Visiting Professors promotes exchanging thoughts, ideas and experiences between scientists from Wrocław and foreign guests, thus enriching the Wrocław scientific community and giving it an international character. The lectures are open for public.

As part of the visit, the professor also prepared workshops and lectures for the scientific community, which are planned both at Łukasiewicz – PORT and at the Wrocław University of Technology.
