We are building a unique public-private institute:
Chemelot Institute of Science & Technology (InSciTe)
2
BUNDLING FORCESInSciTe bundles forces of four leading players in South Netherlands: an international Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company, a technical university, a general university with university medical center and a science park
PHYSICAL NUCLEUS AT CHEMELOTInSciTe has a physical nucleus at Chemelot with
unique, shared R&D infrastructure and other facilities that attract founding fathers and partners to the same
location
ACADEMIC & ENTREPRENEURIAL OPEN TO OTHER PARTNERS
InSciTe performs internationally leading R&D in which top-academia and entrepreneurs work side by side – meeting and working at the physical nucleus Chemelot
InSciTe is open to other parties and actively seeks partners – from academia and industry, and from
all over the world – that complement the expertise of InSciTe and share its ambitions

The Biobased Building Block program
SPIRE 2 – 2014: Adaptable industrial processes allowing the use of renewables as flexible feedstock for chemical and energy applications
Program: three market-driven pathways and decision support:– Furfural platform: conversion from hemicellulose to furfural, as well as
chemical conversion of furfural towards drop-in and new biobased building blocks
– HMF platform: conversion from cellulose to HMF as well as multistep conversion of HMF towards drop-in and new biobased building blocks
– Lignin platform: multistep conversion of lignin towards drop-in and new biobased building blocks
Process technological disciplines/ competences:- Catalytic-chemical processing- Thermo-chemical processing- Bio-chemical processing (excl. fermentation)
