Project objectives

  • To establish and sustain collaboration within UL and between UL and internationally leading partner institutions, enabling extensive knowledge exchange and research collaboration in the field of flow catalysis and its implementation in the valorisation of bio-based resources.
  • To train UL junior scientists on chemo-, photo- and biocatalysis, flow catalysis, and computer- and AI-based design of processes to significantly extend UL expertise in these fields and to foster innovations, industrial applications, and knowledge transfer in UL educational programmes.
  • To transfer new cutting-edge research skills in catalytic reactions and flow catalysis to UL researchers aiming to achieve sustainable research excellence and better use of EU co-funded research infrastructure.
  • To strengthen project management and administration skills and capacity of UL.
  • To significantly increase the amount of competitive research funding obtained by UL and internationally leading counterparts and to enhance the collaboration of UL with industrial stakeholders.
  • To raise awareness on the potential of flow catalysis and valorisation of bio-based resources for sustainable chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological production and environmental protection.

Project workpackages

1 WP 1- Management and Coordination (lead: UL)
WP1 will ensure efficient monitoring and evaluation of project management and results.
The training on research management and administration will be implemented as workshops conducted at UL facilities.
WP3 will be implemented as workshops or summer schools and will be evaluated through a joint report.
WP4 is aimed at acquiring specific theoretical and practical knowledge and is also open to other Slovenian institutions working in the same field.
WP5 is conducted in the form of 2-12 weeks of on-site training and enables the transfer of basic knowledge and best practices in catalytic processes of chemical catalysis, biocatalysis and photocatalysis.
WP 6 will facilitate knowledge transfer in the development of flow processes and cascade reactions and will take the form of 2-12 week visits by JS from UL to beneficiaries’ facilities.
A strategy for sustainable collaborative research cooperation will be developed, including communication, partnership maintenance and joint training initiatives.
Achieve sustainable research excellence of UL in the field of flow catalysis
Raise awareness of the project among key stakeholders, academic community and ordinary citizens.
