Great boron-packed lecture from Dennis Hall of @UAlberta (@HallBoronLab @ualbertachem @ualbertaScience) last week at Universität Würzburg (@ICBWuerzburg). Truly something for everyone, and relevance to all areas of BORONPro!

BORONPro meets Die Maus! The BORONPro team took part in “Türen auf mit der Maus”, bringing chemistry to life with fun, hands-on shows for kids. Exploding experiments, colorful reactions, and a chance to open our labs and give kids a first look at (boron) chemistry @ICBWuerzburg

Great to see the strong Würzburg/Frankfurt BORONPro presence and the exciting boron chemistry discussions – looking forward to the collaborations that will grow from this! @HeltenGroupJMU @MWagnerLab @NowakKrolGroup

[Helten Group @HeltenGroupJMU]

From Nagoya to Tokyo: Holger had a great time at the Pre-Symposium and IMEBoron! 🇯🇵

The Pre-meeting offered a great setting for focused discussions before continuing on to #IMEBoron18 with more exciting science across the field of boron chemistry.

Many thanks to the organizers!

Someone titrate this solution because this might be a record high concentration of BORONPro PIs! @ChemistryJokes @LabBraunschweig @The_Ye_Lab @MWagnerLab

[Boron-Chem-Research @Boron_Chemistry]

Last day of #IMEBoron18 symposium at @sciencetokyo_en institute. Excellent lectures by Prof. H. Braunschweig ( @LabBraunschweig ), Q. Ye ( @The_Ye_Lab ), M. Wagner ( @MWagnerLab ) and S. Riedel ( @RiedelLab ). @makoto_B @Boron_Chemistry #Boronchemistry ; https://t.co/GLCgkMlkiN .

2026年9月5日(土)、名古屋大学にてPreIMEBoron "Boron meets π" 開催✨
π分子複雑性メンバーから忍久保さん、石垣さん、小西さん、八木さんが講演しました🙌
110名強の参加者が集まり、大変盛況な会になりました！

Thanks for coming pre symposium.
Have a nice moment in IMEBoron, our friends!

Had great time giving talks at Nankai, Tianjin, and Xiamen University. Exciting discussions and cultural exchanges.
Thanks to our friends @WangGroup_NKU @zhesuntju and Yuan-zhi Tan for great organisation and hospitality.

[BoronPRO Collaborative Research Center @SFBBoronPRO]

BORONPro PIs @NowakKrolGroup & @MWagnerLab very well represented in Nagoya. Now on to #IMEBoron18 in Tokyo!

[G. Berionni Group University of Namur @Dr_Berionni]

A full day of science at the symposium “Boron Meets π Functional Materials” in Nagoya - inspiring talks, then a wonderful dinner. @RJGilliard, @NowakKrolGroup, @MWagnerLab, @borylation, @ysk_isgk, @TsukijiLab, @ytani_chem, @koni_sakasenn, @yagilabnagoya ...
Many thanks Prof. @yamaguchi_NU for this perfect day!

Visited Large scale fullerene production factory in Zhangping!
Amazed to see how fullerenes are produced at an industrial scale!

[BoronPRO Collaborative Research Center @SFBBoronPRO]

Over 60 researchers from the BORONPro consortium & UniWü chemistry faculty took part in a 2-day Chemotion workshop this week. Chemotion, the open-source ELN by NFDI4Chem (https://t.co/hRzo03Sm9f) & KIT (DFG-funded), will be key to BORONPro collaboration

[ICB Würzburg @ICBWuerzburg]

Great to see two of our Humboldtian alumni making new friends throughout Germany!
