The GSS was established at
the beginning of 2013 within the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV. The school aims at
combining high-profile research and early scientific independence along with
internationalization and gender mainstreaming. It offers a three-year
structured graduate program that combines cutting-edge research with a
curriculum of lectures, colloquia, and workshops, which are all focused on
areas of Solvation Science.

The Cluster of Excellence
RESOLV is a joint research project of about fifty research groups from seven
institutions in the German Ruhr area. Since 2012, we use cutting-edge
experimental and computational techniques to understand the role of solvents at
the molecular detail in the most diverse chemical processes. For example, we
investigate the influence of water in vital biological processes as well as the
effects of solvents on the synthesis and catalytic reactions. Our research lays
the foundations for major advances in key green and medical technologies.
RESOLV is funded with 28 Mio. EUR by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
