Die Bohlmann-Vorlesung
The Bohlmann Lecture

Zu Ehren Prof. Ferdinand Bohlmanns (1921-1991) wird seit 1989 alljährlich die Bohlmann-Vorlesung an eine herausragende Person in der Chemie vergeben, meist auf dem Gebiet der Naturstoffchemie. Die Lesung findet am Institut Chemie der TU Berlin statt und wird von der Bayer AG und der Schering Stiftung gefördert.

Honouring Prof. Ferdinand Bohlmann (1921-1991) the Department of Chemistry and former Schering now Bayer awarded the Bohlmann Lecture to an outstanding chemist, generally in the field of natural products chemistry.
