Bunsentagung 2013 PCCP Prizes

12 Jun 2013

PCCP was delighted to sponsor poster prizes at the recent Bunsentagung 2013 in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Here are some snaps from the poster prize award ceremony…

PCCP is co-owned by 18 national Societies including the Deutsche Bunsen-Gesellschaft für Physikalische Chemie (DBG). Every time a paper by an author based in Germany is published in PCCP, the DBG receives a financial royalty from the journal. We are proud of PCCP’s strong and historic links with German research.

PCCP has just published a great themed issue, “Theory meets Spectroscopy” to accompany this year’s Bunsentagung – take a look at the issue today.
