Results in brief

Catalytic Methods for Sustainable Synthesis. A Merged Experimental and Computational Approach

CATMEC addresses smart synthetic route design, development of new catalytic reactions and computer modelling of chemical processes which have all been highlighted in developing and growing the knowledge base in the Fine chemicals sector and Reaction and Process Design while contributing to the goals of sustainability of Europe 2020. The overall objectives are to: 1. Develop a doctoral programme that addresses interdisciplinary and intersectoral experiential development contributing to EU policy objectives in scientific training and degree assessment. 2. To deliver 6 research graduates who will become highly skilled professional researchers in state-of-the-art approaches in catalysis with a platform to advance contemporary chemical science. 3. Apply and develop novel and robust synthetic methods that will contribute powerful new strategies for the discovery of bioactive small molecules. 4. Transfer between the Host and Secondment-Host in both the academic and non-academic sectors, ensuring lasting collaboration beyond the lifetime of the action.

Project objective

CATMEC is a multi-partner European Joint Doctorate (EJD) Programme offering research training in state-of-the-art sustainable chemical synthesis, catalysis, computational chemistry and bioactive molecule design on both traditional and non-traditional (eg flow) platforms. This Doctoral Training Programme integrates complementary, interdisciplinary and intersectoral training and together with enhanced European mobility through planned secondments of researchers, will contribute to EU policy objectives in scientific training and degree assessment.The researchers will be supervised and mentored by internationally recognised experts and have access to state-of-the-art equipment. Hands-on training will be supplemented by formal training courses in relevant and related fields, and a wide variety of complementary training courses, workshops and seminars. The training of researchers will benefit from secondments to industrial partners, gaining exposure to commercial and complementary environments.Overall, it is anticipated that the CATMEC project will provide Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) with an outstanding training experience, through extensive technical and complementary skills development.
