Syensqo Partners with Jean-Marie Lehn Foundation
In a move to promote innovation and sustainability in the materials industry, Syensqo has entered into a partnership with the Jean-Marie Lehn Foundation.
This strategic collaboration will allow Syensqo, members of the foundation, and chemists from the University of Strasbourg, France, and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) to collaborate on three research projects focused on the design of sustainable and ecological materials, and the synthesis of renewable and polyfunctional building blocks.
These joint research projects aim to develop cutting-edge solutions that address current environmental challenges, such as non-fossil raw materials and carbon dioxide, while providing exceptional performance.
Ilham Kadri, CEO of Syensqo, said: “I am delighted to see the Syensqo teams collaborating with the University of Strasbourg’s talent pool, which includes more than 1,000 researchers representing 50 nationalities and four Nobel Prize winners.”
Bernard Meunier, president of the Jean-Marie Lehn Foundation, added: “The collaboration with Syensqo in these research projects allows us to push the boundaries of materials science and develop innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.”
The Jean-Marie Lehn Foundation was created in 2007 by the French government to support the center of excellence in chemistry in Strasbourg. Its mission is to strengthen and promote this cluster, which brings together researchers from the University of Strasbourg and the CNRS, while expanding its interactions with the industry to meet major societal challenges.
A previous collaboration between Solvay and the University of Strasbourg provided support for seven research projects.
