Implementing innovative thermal insulation coatings (TIC) in the process industry to improve occupational safety and sustainability

The focus of the workshop lies on the introduction of TIC in the process & plant engineering industry to promote occupational safety and sustainability using technology expertise. Through case studies, discussions, and interactive exercises, participants will develop an understanding of the technology and its potential. Evonik summarizes the target combination of specialty chemicals with technology expertise under the term 'Technology Deployment', which offers an attractive field of action for engineers.

Zielgruppe: Fachkräfte mit Berufserfahrung, insbesondere Experten von Ausrüstungsherstellern (Tanks, Rohre, Reaktoren)

Protection strategies for AI tools and AI inventions in industry! In the context of process optimisation and product development

Dass KI einen Mehrwert für Unternehmen schaffen kann, ist unbestritten. Ob KI-basierte/-assistierte Lösungen patentfähig sind, patentiert werden sollten oder welche IP-Strategien darüber hinaus verfügbar sind, ist stets im Einzelfall zu prüfen. Dies betrifft Herstellungs-/Messverfahren sowie komplexe Produkt der chemischen, biotechnologischen und pharmazeutischen Industrie. Unternehmensziele, Kooperationen mit Dritten zu geteilter KI sowie globale Datenflüsse fügen eine weitere Komplexität ein.

Dr. Anna Heide, Patentanwältin,ambidex IP, Gründerin und Inhaberin

Zielgruppe: Nachwuchswissenschaftler/Post Docs, Fachkräfte mit Berufserfahrung, IP Verantwortliche, Erfinder, Technologie-Scouts, Strategen, C-Level

The future of chemical parks

What are the future requirements for German chemical parks to support the competitiveness of their local chemical plants and companies. How to build a consistent overarching development concept from targets of individual companies and the view of the park manager? What kind of changes are necessary to secure a sustainable energy and feedstock supply. This workshop discusses these questions in the light of future competitiveness for the chemical parks and their companies.

Dr. Sebastian Hiessl und Dr. Florian Ausfelder, DECHEMA e.V.

Zielgruppe: Standortbetreiber und Vertreter von angesiedelten Unternehmen

Quantifying sustainability: What can Life Cycle Assessment do for application-oriented research and for companies?

The workshop provides an insight into the possibilities and challenges of using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in application-oriented research and in companies. The first part of the workshop deals with the methodological framework of ISO 14040/44 as well as standardized accounting formats. In the second part, data and software requirements as well as cooperation models are explained and promising approaches are identified based on the results from the BioBall innovation area.

Bio-based value chains and (waste) water: state-of-the-art or mission-critical challenge

One element of the transformation of the chemical industry is the increased use of renewable raw materials, often applying biotechnological processes. What does this mean for water management, especially in the transition to world-scale plants and the use of secondary feedstock? Do we simply have to use our (waste)water technology toolkit or will we face completely new challenges which even might be decisive for the economic or ecological feasibility of bio-based value creation?

Organisation: DECHEMA-Fachsektion Industriewasser

Durchführung: Dr. Thomas Track, DECHEMA e.V. und Prof. Stephanie Stute, Technische Hochschule Nürnberg

Zielgruppe: Doktoranden, Nachwuchswissenschaftler/Post Docs, Fachkräfte mit Berufserfahrung

Instrumental Odor Measurement - from Human Sensory Analysis to Sensor Systems  

Odor impression is a crucial factor in product quality, yet its measurement is still unrepresented in process control. To change that, our workshop will give a broad overview on the exciting field of instrumental odor measurements - from a thorough understanding on the physiological sense of odor to specific sensor solutions in real applications. Moreover, it will provide a hand-on experience with odor reference samples, miniaturized analytical systems and application-ready sensor systems.

Organisation: DECHEMA-Fachsektion Mess- und Sensortechnik in Kooperation mit 3S GmbH
Durchführung: Dr. Caroline Schultealbert (3S GmbH) und Maximilian Köhne (Fraunhofer IVV)

Zielgruppe: Doktoranden, Nachwuchswissenschaftler/Post Docs, Fachkräfte mit Berufserfahrung

“Lost in translation”: How to improve entrepreneurship education

The German research system excels at converting funding into knowledge, but often struggles to commercialize that knowledge. To remain competitive, Germany could learn from other nations that promote entrepreneurial skills as key future competencies in the natural sciences.

This workshop aims to explore how entrepreneurial skills can be better integrated into the natural sciences curriculum in Germany. The goal is to support the development of a resilient and thriving biotech ecosystem.
