On September 12th HyPERiON organised a Diversity Day at the NTI Hörsaal at KIT. The workshop was organised by HyPERiON's diversiy coordinator Prof. Dr.-Ing. Cagri Ulusoy. The programme was split into two sessions. In the morning Shawna Samuel hosted a workshop on "How to advance your ideas, especially as an underrepresented person in science". Shawna is a long-time coach focussing diversity issues on and the creator of the Mental Offload. In the afternoon featured a panel discussion with the topic "Diversity as strength in academia".
Save the date for the next symposium "Quantitative NMR Methods for Reaction and Process Monitoring" (NMRPM).
Date: 31th of March to 02nd of April 2025
After the successful symposia in the past years, the 5th NMRPM will be held once again at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. The event is chaired by Kerstin Münnemann - one of HyPERiON's PIs.
The NMRPM symposium provides a forum for scientists working on NMR methods for reaction and process monitoring in academic and industrial settings. The program will address the challenges associated with quantitative investigations of processes in complex multicomponent mixtures using NMR spectroscopy or imaging. The NMRPM symposium aims to provide a platform to exchange ideas between NMR users and suppliers in order to foster new and innovative developments in this field.
The presentations will cover:
• New applications of high field and benchtop NMR spectroscopy
• Novel hardware and advanced methods
• Robust quantitative data analysis
Further information including abstract submission and registration deadlines will follow soon.
Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) - among them the speaker of HyPERiON Jan Korvink - and Voxalytic GmbH have developed a new method with which, for the first time, the chiral structure of a molecule - the exact spatial arrangement of the atoms - can be elucidated directly using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This important step in the development of new drugs has previously been a time-consuming process. Now the new method could become a standard tool for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The results were published in the journal Advanced Materials. (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202408547).

HyPERiON's PIs came together for a collaboration meeting at the Buhlsche Mühle in Ettlingen on April 16th-17th. The group discussed ongoing and future collaborations between the projects, as well as long-term strategic developments.
KIT organizes a Girls' Day every year. The event is for Girls in 5th grade or older and it gives them the opportunity to gain insights into professional fields where women are underrepresented. This year HyPERiON participated in the Girls' Day and hosted a group of 11 girls.

With great sadness we have received news that our esteemed colleague Dr. rer. nat. habil. Michael Maiwald passed away on 16.08.2023. Michael Maiwald most recently worked as head of the process analytics department at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing. He was one of the reviewers for our CRC and a big supporter of NMR applications. The scientific community has lost an excellent researcher and he will be missed deeply. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
