• Aline Hartgers, from Belgium, studies Mathematical Engineering at KU Leuven, and will join Prof. Kjell Jorner’s group at ETH Zürich.
• Shaipranesh Senthilkumar, from India, studies Computer Science & Chemistry at BITS Pilani and will join Prof. Philippe Schwaller’s group at EPFL.
• Nadiia Vorontsova, from Ukraine, studies Chemistry at the University of Geneva, where she will join Prof. Ross Milton's group.
• Julia Ravagnani, from Italy and France, studies Sustainable Chemical Engineering at EPFL and will join Prof. Gonzalo Guillén-Gosálbez's group at ETH Zurich.

The Young Talents Fellowship supports students with exceptional academic records and diverse backgrounds. It provides them with the opportunity to conduct a Master’s thesis project in a research group associated with NCCR Catalysis and establish their connections and ideas in a multidisciplinary, cross-fertilizing environment of research excellence. This initiative to promote fair representation in catalysis research was launched in 2022.
