The scientific programme included presentations of the individual subprojects, as well as the introduction of the new subproject C08 (Uncovering the Synthetic Potential of the Allyl Radical Photocyclisation, Dr. Immo Klose). We were also delighted to welcome two guest speakers Prof. David Procter (University of Manchester) and Junior Prof. Ala Bunescu (University of Bonn), whose contributions provided additional perspectives and enriched the scientific programme. The “Power Hour” was a success: Our project leaders presented four different topics related to leading research groups, supervising doctoral students, mentoring, and academic leadership, which were then discussed by all participants, leading to active engagement and stimulating conversations.
We would like to thank all the speakers, session chairs, and everyone involved who made these meeting possible.
Overall, the Annual Retreat was a great success in achieving its main objective: bringing the CRC 325 community together and fostering meaningful scientific exchange. The event took place in a beautiful autumn setting, providing a pleasant backdrop for the three days.
