We had the great pleasure of hosting Professor Gregory Chatel, our research partner in the project ​“OPUS-13”, from the Université Savoie Mont Blanc (France). He imparted a very inspiring lecture in our institute entitled ​“Unconventional media and activation methods for green chemistry: strategies, benefits and limitations”.

We also spent a significant number of hours in our lab discussing on complementary collaborative research tasks to be done in the frame of our project OPUS-13 Nr. 2017/25/B/ST8/01592 entitled ​“Understanding the mechanism of lignin-based model molecules selective conversions to phenolics via ultrasound-assisted heterogeneous photocatalysis” (supported by the National Science Centre (NCN) in Poland).

We would really like to thank Prof. Chatel for spending this priceless time in our group, and specially for sharing his knowledge with us during his stay.
