Industry and government

Department of Chemistry provides councelling, analysis, research and development for industry and government. The researchers at the Department strive to develop better chemical substances and processes, and to determine how they affect the environment and climate. The department's researchers search for both basic knowledge and production-ready ideas. Preferably in collaboration with Danish and international companies that can market the ideas.

Collaboration

Collaborations between the Department of Chemistry and industry, government and organizations can be organized in a number of ways.

 

Joint research projects based on co-financing is where both parties invest ressources in the project. This might be the invention of new products or the development of existing ones. In both cases your busines will get competent advice from excellent scientists.

Spin-out

The Department of Chemistry is focussed on innovation and entrepreneurship. We strive to apply for patents. Alone or in collaboration with the businesses who financed the research. Some patents are licenced to existing companies. Others are exploited by the researchers themselves in start-up companies.
