Prof. Dr. John Warner is one of the founders of the field of green chemistry. He started the first PhD programm in green chemistry, is an inventor and has founded several companies in the fields of Photovoltaics, Neurochemistry,  Construction materials and more. John is distinguished Professor at Monash University and Chulalongkorn University and honorary Professor at the Technical University of Berlin.

Prof. Dr. Jovana V. Milić is an assistant professor at the Adolphe Merkle Institute of the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, leading a research team working on the development of smart energy materials in photovoltaics. In addition to research and international collaboration, she is member of Swiss and Global Young Academies, invested in science (for) policy and diplomacy, supporting young scientists globally.

Prof. Dr. Amitabh Banerji is Professor for Chemistry Education at the University of Potsdam. To prepare students for a life in an increasingly technology dominated world and to motivate them for STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) he focused to implement cutting-edge research and future technologies into the science curriculum of schools and universities.

Prof. Dr. Wendy L. Queen is associate Professor in the Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering at EPFL. Her research is focused on the synthesis and characterization of novel porous adsorbents, such as metal-organic frameworks. The ultimate goal of her research is to contribute knowledge towards solving globally relevant problems, like reducing energy consumption, developing sustainable processes, cutting CO2 emissions, and water purification.

After a first postdoc in the group of Max von Delius in Ulm working on synthetic carbon allotropes, Prof. Dr. Sebastian B. Beil moved to Princeton University to work in the group of David MacMillan to develop new photoredox transformations. From 2021 to 2024, Sebastian accepted a position as assistant Professor at the University of Groningen and since March 2024 he holds a research group leader position at the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion.
