Research Groups in ZEMOS

In ZEMOS at Ruhr-Universität Bochum international working groups interdisciplinarily explore the new research field Solvation Science. We use the various laboratories and simulation clusters equipped with the most modern techniques, as well as the advantages of the open and communicative architecture of the building. 
Working spaces and lab-spaces including the equipment can be independently used by working groups or junior working groups for limited time scales. The ZEMOS Board does the corresponding assignment. Furthermore there are three central areas: The Core Facilities Biology, Spectroscopy and Simulation. These are scientifically and technically supervised by ZEMOS staff.
