The Faculty of Science will launch a new Molecular and Materials Design (MMD) Technology hub. This hub will help to create a thriving community of scientists and partners that execute top-notch, highly impactful technological research in molecular and material design.

Many of today’s scientific and societal challenges require new materials or molecules with tailor-made properties. Whether it concerns applications in health care, the energy transition, circularity or mitigating climate change or advances in instrumentation for basic research: these materials and molecules can be used in a wide arrange of fields. But they need to be designed and produced effectively, economically, and with a minimal impact on our environment.

An accelerator for research

The MMD Technology hub will function as an accelerator for research, by bringing together talent, tools and large data that enables us to close the cycle of fundamental knowledge, experimentation, data analyses and the design of new materials, molecules and associated processes. Our long-standing expertise in chemistry, physics and the life sciences  will be combined with our strengths in AI and computational data, and quantum information sciences.

MMD Impulse call

To kick-start the new Molecular and Materials Design Technology hub, the MMD Impulse call is now open. This call aims to establish and further strengthen emerging collaborations that combine theoretical, experimental, analytical/instrumentation and computational/AI expertise in the field of molecular and material design.

More information

Please visit the MMD Technology hub to find more information. You also find the call for proposals which includes further details on the eligibility and quality criteria and how to apply. The deadline for application is 30 May 2024.
