Organization
The National Institute for Research & Development in Chemistry and Petrochemistry – ICECHIM Bucharest is one of the major research entities in Romania, being involved in all fields of chemistry.
History
In 1948, at the initiative of the professors from the Department of Organic Chemistry (Polytechnic School of Bucharest), department led by Professor Costin D. Nenițescu, the Chemical Enterprises for Research, Design and Semi-Industrial Production (ICEPS) were established on the Dudești platform in Bucharest.
Scientific Events
Our vision includes shaping and equipping sustainable R&D&I communities through social dialogue events and accredited open science events that celebrate opportunities to promote regional cooperation between scientists, research institutions, national policy makers and the local business environment.
Technological Transfer Centre
ICECHIM’s Technological Transfer Centre (TTC) is the bridge between research groups and businesses that want to apply the results of research.
Services
INCDCP-ICECHIM accommodates access to the international scientific infrastructure and recurrently updated, top-notch equipment, essential for frontier advancements in the predefined R&I domains.
INCDCP-ICECHIM engaged several “Capacity Development” projects, successfully articulating the current architecture for bionanotechnologies integrated infrastructure and RDI laboratories.
INCDCP-ICECHIM offers a wide range of RENAR (Romanian Accreditation Association) accredited analysis services, as well as specialized engineering commissioning.
