The Bunsentagung is the annual meeting for physical chemistry in Germany organized by the Deutsche Bunsen-Gesellschaft für physikalische Chemie e.V. (DBG, German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry) and a local team. This year it was held at the Ruhr University Bochum from May 14 to 16. At the conference, all areas of physical chemistry were represented in approx. 113 oral presentations and over 300 posters. Around 650 international scientists attended the event.
