4 doctoral candidates of our MiEl doctoral network are exploring novel electrosynthetic routes for the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
Their innovations enable the production of complex molecules that would be difficult or impossible to make using traditional methods.

[project_MiEl @project_MiEl]

Three doctoral candidates are working on the development of a new production process and methods for the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry in MiEl. The aim is to develop efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable (electrochemical) processes for industrial applications.
