Prof. Dr. Markus Antonietti, Director of the Department of Colloid Chemistry
at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, received
an honorary doctorate from Stockholm University. SU is one of the
largest and also most important universities in Scandinavia.
In its annual academic ceremony on September 30, 2011 Stockholm University
awarded a „Doctor philosophiae honoris causa“ to the chemist Markus Antonietti.
Markus Antonietti received this Award for his work in the area of sustainable
functional materials on the base of plant biomasses. In his projects, Antonietti
could also delineate pathways to lower the CO2 pollution of the atmosphere by
simultaneous generation of biological and economic added value. These approaches
could help especially countries like Sweden to become less dependent
on crude oil imports and accomplish the CO2 – neutrality of whole regions.
