SusChem Austria aims to strengthen the interaction of key stakeholders at national level to address Europe’s, and especially Austria’s, societal challenges with chemical and biotechnological innovation.
Continuously, and supported by an annual meeting with the BioNanoNet members, the NTP exchanges information both top-down (from the ETP SusChem towards the national community) and bottom-up to facilitate networking, build project teams and to enhance participation in EU funding programmes.
SusChem Austria endorses the main SusChem ETP objective to revitalise and inspire European and national chemical industry research, development and innovation in a sustainable way, through all the stages of the value chain.
