INCITE aims to accelerate a transition to a more flexible and sustainable chemistry by taking novel integrated upstream and downstream processing. The project involves flow chemistry and membrane technology in two chemo-enzymatic demonstration cases at an industrial level.
The CAPTURE Academy is involved in developing content for the training and dissemination component of the INCITE project. The training is offered via 3 types of activities:
1) Development of Online learning modules: The main instrument for knowledge disclosure is the series of 10 online learning modules. The totality of the learning modules forms a coherent set starting with the considerations, advantages and disadvantages of the more general underlying technologies and green chemistry principles used in INCITE, to the more advanced and applied integrated demonstration cases developed in INCITE. Examples are principles of enzymatic production, membrane separation, LCA assessments in the chemical industry, oleo chemical plant operations etc. The modules are accessible on an open platform and available for free. Anyone with a background in basic chemistry and physics is welcomed to follow the learning modules, of about 4 study hours per module. Available on the CAPTURE Academy.
2) A series of 10 webinars is offered for the green chemistry community. Each of the 10 webinars dives into the contents of a specific learning module and foresees a Q&A session with the audience. The webinars are recorded and made available on the INCITE Youtube channel for replay.
3) Two physical training workshops are organized during the yearly RRB conference on renewable resources and biorefineries, targeting professionals and academics. This allows networking and further knowledge interchange between the relevant actors in the field.
