The Research Training Group (RTG) 2670 Beyond Amphiphilicity: Self-organisation of soft matter via multiple noncovalent interactions has begun its work at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). Amphiphilicity, a fundamental ordering principle for molecules, will be the starting point of the future research projects. The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation, DFG) will provide a first round of funding for the project of around 4.5 million euros until 2025.
