Lustrum Day - 24 January 2025

This year, the Vereniging of Scheikundige Ingenieurs Eindhoven (Association of Chemical Engineers Eindhoven) celebrates its sixth lustrum. We are excited to invite you to a special celebration marking the lustrum of our alumni association, a milestone event that commemorates thirty wonderful years of connection, growth, and shared memories.

On Friday January 24, 2025, we’re welcome at the place where it all began: the Eindhoven University of Technology Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. The lustrum day offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with your alma mater and immerse yourself in the latest advancements in chemical engineering and chemistry. The day kicks off with a walk-in starting at 13:30, followed by a warm welcome from the department at 14:00, where you'll get an overview of the exciting activities ahead. You’ll have the chance to explore cutting-edge laboratories during exclusive lab visits, gaining insight into the innovative research that is shaping the future of the industry. To end the day, from 17:15 onwards, enjoy food and drinks while reconnecting with fellow alumni, exchanging ideas, and reflecting on the evolution of the field. Whether you're looking to expand your network, deepen your knowledge, or simply catch up with old friends, our lustrum day promises to be an enriching and memorable event.

We are very happy that prof. Frank Hollmann joins us in the late afternoon to share his thoughts on the importance of biocatalysis for the chemical industry of the future.

Biocatalysis is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the chemical industry of tomorrow, offering pathways to cleaner, more sustainable, and cost-efficient processes. This lecture will provide an engaging overview of how biocatalysis can transform industrial reactions, reducing environmental impact while maintaining or even enhancing economic viability.

The presentation will feature compelling case studies from the chemical industry, showcasing successful applications of biocatalysis in diverse sectors. It will also explore emerging trends that are driving innovation in this field, including the integration of flow chemistry for continuous processes, cutting-edge advances in enzyme engineering for enhanced performance, and the development of novel transformations that expand the synthetic repertoire. Designed to inspire chemists and chemical engineers alike, this lecture will highlight the exciting potential of biocatalysis as a cornerstone of a greener and more sustainable chemical industry.

Join us as we come together to reflect on our journey, reconnect with old friends, and celebrate the continued success of our vibrant alumni community. This event promises to be a memorable occasion filled with inspiring moments, fun activities, and the opportunity to strengthen the ties that bind us. Please subscribe via the form below.
