BASF President pays a special visit
Dr. Martin Jung, President Performance Materials at BASF and Dr. Volker Schaedler, Vice-president PU R&D at BASF Polyurethanes Europe visited our Polymer Performance Materials group.

As Martin Jung did his PhD in our department about 25 years ago, his visit was not only to be informed about our current polymer research but also a ‘trip down memory lane’ meeting people he worked with back in those days. And he also reached out to today’s PhD students during a group discussion to be informed of their views and share the needs from industry. “Here at my old stomping grounds, I connected with brilliant researchers and enthusiastic PhD students in Prof. Željko Tomovićs research group who share our passion for sustainable innovation in the plastics industry. It was great to meet young talents who want to shape the future of chemistry and its contribution to society, and experience the fantastic development of ý as part of the Brainport Eindhoven.”, stated Dr. Jung.
