Description
The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation supports this annual lectureship at the University of Basel to bring leading U.S.-based scientists in chemistry and the chemical sciences to campus. The program strengthens the relationship between Swiss and U.S. science through scientific presentations and direct exchanges with the University community.
The visiting Dreyfus Lecturer gives two presentations: a technical lecture for faculty and students and a second lecture for a broader audience. The visitor also spends time interacting directly with faculty and students. The lectureship commemorates the Dreyfus brothers, who both earned their PhDs at Basel: Camille in 1901 and Henry in 1905.
