Nobel Laureate Ben Feringa’ s upcoming Lecture - join us!

The first Ben Feringa Lecture is a cooperation between the Netherlands Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the VSNU, and Alumni Relations of the University of Groningen.

Dirk Janssen, the Consul General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, will start off the first Ben Feringa Lecture. The evening will explore Ben’s life as a young student, to the moment he was awarded with the Nobel Prize, to his life presently. He will then be joined by Stanford University’s Professor Zhenan Bao, who has 45 honours and awards under her name, to discuss his research, working during Covid-19, exciting problems he foresees in the future, and how to motivate and inspire young talent to always strive for excellence. This session will be moderated by UG-student Aafke Eppinga. The evening will end with a Q&A session.
