NEW AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
European thought leadership in academia and industry
on future enabling technologies
and their transformational potential
in industrial, societal and environmental terms
INCDCP-ICECHIM responds to the technological and societal challenges of the 21st century by substantiating and developing new and emerging technologies, resulting from multidisciplinary collaborations, aiming at transforming the latest results of scientific research into globally competitive economic advantages. “New and emerging technologies” represents the main driver of INCDCP-ICECHIM’s development philosophy and the throttle of the 2019-2022 Core program addressing this field (Advanced chemistry for innovative and emerging technologies).
The innovative technologies developed by engaging national and international collaborations academic and industrial stakeholders have been articulated through RDI projects, for various applications, respectively:
