The Chemelot Institute for Science & Technology (InSciTe) is a public-private institute for biomedical materials and biobased materials to make materials smarter. From its base in the south of the Netherlands, Chemelot InSciTe rises to the challenges facing our world today: It develops solutions for the sustainable health of an ageing population and for the sustainable production of chemicals and materials. Founding fathers Royal DSM, Maastricht University and University Medical Center, Eindhoven University of Technology and the Province of Limburg invite industrial and academic partners around the world to join them in developing healing biomedical materials for high quality, affordable healthcare, and processes to produce biobased materials from renewable raw materials that do not compete with the food chain. With its physical nucleus at Brightlands Maastricht Health Campus, Chemelot InSciTe enables entrepreneurship, expertise, experimentation and education in an open innovation network.
