SPIRE Brokerage event December 16th 2013 SUSTAINABLE PROCESS INDUSTRY EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL COMPETTIVENESS TROUGH RESOURCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Project Idea Presentation Zurich University of Applied Sciences
INSTITUTE OF CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY ZURICH UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES The Institute of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry (ICBC) at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences runs an application driven research and development program aiming at sustainable and innovative processes and solutions. Areas of activity include chemical and biochemical engineering, miniaturized and continuous processes, new sustainable processes for existing and new products, chemical and biochemical catalysis, novel materials for applications in several fields. Resource and energy efficiency, functionalized coating applications, light management, advanced catalysis, tissue engineering, drug discovery, in silico drug design and syntheses, molecularly imprinted polymers, downstream processing - proteins, are examples of our main interests. Our cutting-edge technologies, research facilities and highly specialized expertise bring successful collaborations with industry (SMEs, start-ups, large companies) and academia at Swiss and European level. We create and develop more sustainable processes and advanced materials for industrial applications and green chemistry. 2 WWW.SPIRE2030.EU
