From 17:30-17:45, Eric de Deckere, Executive Director for Innovation will speak at Cefic session:
From Lab to Industry: Innovating for Sustainable Chemistry
It is no secret that the chemical industry is already transforming and must continue to do so rapidly to meet climate and sustainability goals. Meeting this challenge continuously creates new opportunities for researchers to turn science into real-world impact. This Cefic session offers students and early-career scientists a snapshot of how innovation can move from lab to industry.
Key topics:
- Improving sustainability and safety performance of processes and products:
- Scaling up non‑fossil feedstocks (bio-based, waste-derived, carbon capture and utilisation – CCU);
- Optimising circular solutions, including chemical recycling.
- Applying Safe and Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) as an innovation framework for the chemical value chain;
- Advancing impact assessment through Cefic’s Long-Range Research Initiative (LRI) funding programme, bridging science and industry.
What you will gain:
- Insight into industry research careers;
- Understanding of skills in demand;
- Examples of real-world application of research.
