Theoretical Chemist Bettina Keller Awarded 910,800 Euros from the Volkswagen Foundation

As part of its initiative “Momentum – Funding for Recently Tenured Professors,” the Volkswagen Foundation has awarded Professor Bettina Keller from Freie Universität Berlin 910,800 euros to research methods for simulating chemical reactions over the next four years. The theoretical chemist assumed her post as professor for theoretical chemistry at Freie Universität Berlin in October 2019. The “Momentum” initiative aims to promote diversity in research and encourage creativity among researchers based at universities across Germany. Additionally, the initiative serves the strategic development of the organizational unit that these researchers are associated with. The overarching goal is to open up avenues for new approaches to research and teaching at universities.
