CheMatSustain Facility

The CheMatSustain facility is founded on three core pillars: Science2Industry, Science2Policy, and Science2Citizen, each designed to integrate scientific advancements with various societal actors. 

The CheMatSustain Facility is envisioned as an innovative platform where information and services can be used by various target groups. By presenting data in an accessible format, it aims to transfer research knowledge to industry professionals. Furthermore, the facility supports the transfer of technology from research labs to industrial applications through standardized testing procedures and assessment methodologies. Specifically, market analysis and business-oriented studies targeting specific nanomaterials and chemicals will be provided.
