Description
The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Lectureship at the University of Basel commemorates the Dreyfus brothers, both alumni of the university, by supporting annual visits from distinguished U.S.-based scientists in chemistry and the chemical sciences. The program aims to strengthen ties between Swiss and U.S. scientific communities by inviting a leading chemist to deliver two lectures—one technical talk for the academic community and another for the general public—while also encouraging direct engagement with faculty and students during their stay.
