Syensqo, the CNRS and the University of Strasbourg will work together on three research projects

Syensqo is proud to announce its partnership with the Jean-Marie Lehn Foundation. This strategic collaboration will allow Syensqo, members of the foundation, and chemists from the University of Strasbourg and the CNRS to work together on three research projects focused on the design of sustainable and ecological materials, and the synthesis of renewable and polyfunctional building blocks.

This partnership demonstrates Syensqo's commitment to promoting innovation and sustainability in the materials industry. These joint research projects aim to develop cutting-edge solutions that address current environmental challenges, such as non-fossil raw materials and carbon dioxide, while providing exceptional performance.

“I am delighted to see the Syensqo teams collaborating with the University of Strasbourg’s talent pool, which includes more than 1000 researchers representing 50 nationalities and 4 Nobel Prize winners.”

Ilham Kadri, CEO of Syensqo

“The collaboration with Syensqo in these research projects allows us to push the boundaries of materials science and develop innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.”

Bernard Meunier, President of the Jean-Marie Lehn Foundation

The Jean-Marie Lehn Foundation was created in 2007 by the French government to support the center of excellence in chemistry in Strasbourg. It is unique in France and recognized internationally. Its mission is to strengthen and promote this cluster, which brings together researchers from the University of Strasbourg and the CNRS, while expanding its interactions with the business world to meet major societal challenges. 

A previous collaboration between Solvay and the University of Strasbourg provided support for seven research projects. One of these projects involved the development of an ultra-sensitive graphene-based voltage sensor. This new-generation sensor is capable of detecting even the faintest heartbeats in real time when worn on the skin. These advances open up promising prospects in the field of connected healthcare. 

Syensqo is a science company developing groundbreaking solutions that enhance the way we live, work, travel and play. Inspired by the scientific councils which Ernest Solvay initiated in 1911, we bring great minds together to push the limits of science and innovation for the benefit of our customers, with a diverse, global team of more than 13,000 associates in 30 countries.

Our solutions contribute to safer, cleaner, and more sustainable products found in homes, food and consumer goods, planes, cars, batteries, smart devices and healthcare applications. Our innovation power enables us to deliver on the ambition of a circular economy and explore breakthrough technologies that advance humanity.
