Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The international research training group “Complex Functional Systems in Chemistry” comprised each ca. 10 research groups at the Department of Chemistry of Nagoya University, Japan, and the Fachbereich Chemie und Pharmazie der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Germany. The research program was selected from ongoing and future oriented chemical research topics of high current interest. Technically it was centered on chemical systems and reactions that were governed by intermolecular effects and interactions including remote intramolecular contacts. It comprised a loose sub-division about functional systems in bio-related chemistry, catalysis and materials chemistry. The scientific/educational program had a major emphasis on providing the participating doctoral students from both institutions with an experience remotely related to an international postdoctoral situation during their time as a doctorand. Each of the 61 doctoral students from Münster, therefore, stayed for periods of ca. six months duration in one of the partner research groups at Nagoya University and 32 young scientists form Nagoya came to Münster to do joint research.The educational program included technical sessions and expert seminars, held by a sizable number of internationally well-known scientists of our profession. The IRTG students had lots of possibilities to discuss and interact with them. In addition, there was exchange of professors from Nagoya and Münster Universities to give seminars and teach short courses at the partner institution. This was especially used and appreciated by the young assistant professors from Japan as a welcome way to gain international teaching experience. The groups met regularly, each year once in Nagoya and once in Münster. The scientific collaboration was intense and fruitful. The results from the collaborative work at Münster and Nagoya were published in more than 60 joint publications, many of them in very high ranking scientific journals. In addition the Münster groups described the work done by their IRTG doctoral students from their work in Münster under the roof of the “Münster/Nagoya IRTG” more than 150 additional scientific publications. The collaboration was intense, the students profited very much from the strong international atmosphere. They rapidly became responsible for important issues about the development of their IRTG, including the selection of the speakers and the entire organization of the top international “IRTG mini-symposia” that were held each year since 2007. For all participants of this IRTG, the first of its kind between Japan and Germany, this nine-year program will be remembered very favorably.
