Our partners: an association built on expertise in the research chain

The greenification of the chemical industry is a complex challenge. A successful transition in this respect can only be achieved through interdisciplinary collaboration. This is why academia and industry are joining forces in ARC CBBC, a consortium supported by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, the Top Sector for Chemistry, and NWO (the Dutch Research Council), in a concerted effort to contribute to the achievement of the climate goals set down in the Paris Agreement.

Our founding partners are:

Academic: Utrecht University, University of Groningen, Eindhoven University of Technology
Industrial: Shell, BASF, AkzoNobel, Nouryon, Nobian
Governmental: NWO, Rijksoverheid, ChemistryNL
