The Workgroup for Organic Chemistry of the Austrian Chemical Society (GÖCH) cordially invites you to this year’s Adolf Lieben Lectureship series which will be held in October 2025. Named after one of the Austrian pioneers in organic chemistry, this lecture series aims on bringing some of the most innovative and influential organic chemists to Austria each year.
ADOLF LIEBEN LECTURER 2025:
Prof. Peter R. Schreiner,
Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen, Germany.
Prof. Schreiner studied chemistry at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany) and the University of Georgia, Athens (USA). He obtained his doctoral agree in organic chemistry with Prof. Schleyer (Erlangen) and his PhD in computational chemistry with Prof. Schaefer III (Athens).
Afterwards he started his independent career at the University of Göttingen (Habilitation in 1999), followed by a three year assoc. Prof. position at the University of Georgia. In 2002 he joined the University of Giessen as a full professor for organic chemistry. Prof. Schreier is well-known for his pioneering work in the integration of computational chemistry and synthetic chemistry and catalysis, particularly his groundbreaking contributions to organocatalysis and the understanding of dispersion interactions in catalysis.
