Organisation profile
Organisation profile
The research at the School of Chemical Engineering focuses on forest products technologies, chemical engineering, industrial biotechnology, materials science and nanotechnology, metals and minerals processing and energy technology. The school has two special research infrastructures: bioeconomy infrastructure that enables research from molecular level to biobased technology concepts, and raw materials research infrastructure, that supports the research of circular economy targeting to closed metallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes and inorganic energy materials.
We combine natural sciences and engineering in a unique way. This enables us to refine our research results a long way and put them into practice as sustainable and innovative products and processes. Our school is backed by strong cooperation with the business world. We educate broad-minded experts for Finland's largest industrial sectors. If you want to provide novel solutions for sustainable economy utilising natural resources, consider joining us!
UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Our work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
