Bert Weckhuysen is appointed as a Scientific Advisory Board member of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion in Mulheim/Ruhr as of January 1st 2017.
Johan will work in the research group Intensified Reaction and Separation Systems (IRS) of prof. Andrzej Stankiewicz. He will start on September 1st 2016 and he will work on the development of process technology involved in the understanding of the interplay between thermodynamic interactions, hydrodynamic interactions and diffusion, using a combination of an experimental and computational approach.
He will stay involved in the MCEC program as a project leader and as a member of the MCEC Education Committee.
The Dutch Council of Ministers has appointed current dean of the TU/e department of Chemical Engineering, Jaap Schouten, as a member of the NWO board of directors and to head up the NWO Applied and Engineering Sciences domain as of January 1st 2017.
All the MCEC PhD students and postdocs are invited to visit the Shell Technology Center and the production site of Albemarle Catalysts in Amsterdam-Noord. Both companies will organize several presentations and give a tour around their sites. Also, both companies will give the opportunity to exchange thoughts about our projects via a poster session/discussion.

DEADLINE: 1 SEPTEMBER 2016
Researchers from Dutch universities and knowledge institutes can apply until 1 September 2016 for CBBC Membership. The aim is to select the best researchers from scientific and R&D communities in the Netherlands. CBBC Members are invited to form teams, propose project plans and gain excess for further in-depth discussions with fellow Members and the companies involved. Participation in CBBC projects is only possible with a CBBC Membership.
PROCEDURE
Nominations are divided into two categories: experienced researchers and young researchers/emerging talent; the latter category refers to nominees who completed a PhD less than 15 years ago. An application includes a CV and a letter explaining how the candidate believes he or she can contribute to the main research themes of ARC CBBC (CV + letter in total max. 4 pages). You can submit your application to info@arc-cbbc.nl ultimately 1 September 2016.

RESEARCH THEMES
As point of reference for the motivation on how to contribute to the main research themes of ARC CBBC, please use Figure 1 for guidance.

Volker Hessel has been active in flow chemistry since 1994. He brought the idea from the “high p,T” processing into the lab-scale life and later successfully into the industrial scale. He has published several textbooks which are in world-wide use as basics for micro-flow research and also for advanced teaching.
The 2016 IUPAC ThalesNano Prize will be presented at the 14th international conference on microreaction technology in Beijing on 14 September 2016.
Every year, the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities (KHMW) awards a grant from the Pieter Langerhuizen Lambertuszoon Fonds. David Fernandez Rivas will use the grant for the development of a needle-free injection method. He is working on an accessible and inexpensive device that can inject medication into the body directly through the skin, using a tiny jet of liquid.
