SusChemThe European Technology Platform for Sustainable Chennistry

摘要

SusChem was established in 2004 by Cefic and EuropoBio to help foster and focus European Research in chemist, chemical engineering and industrial biotechnology: a European Technology Platform that brings together stakeholders from many different backgrounds to boost sustainable chemistry with a focus on technology, research and innovation issues. Founding members of SusChem were the Cefic (European Chemical Industry Council), the DECHEMA e.V. (Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology), the ESAB (European Federation of Biotechnology Section of Applied Biocatalysis), EuropoBio (the European Association for Bioindustries), the GDCh (the German Chemical Society) and the RSC (Royal Society of Chemistry). The scope of European Technology Platforms (ETPs) is to stimulate research and innovation, particulariy in the private sector, to enhance European competitiveness, develop the European Research Area (ERA) and increase the overall investment in R&D.
