Conception phase

Application submitted for implementation phase

The ETOS conception phase has been successfully completed. The cluster application for the first implementation phase has been submitted. Many project consortia with innovative ideas have been conceived. We are keeping our fingers crossed and are looking forward to the jury's decision.

Feedback on the Winter School on January 27/28, 2022

The first winter school for the ETOS network took place on January 27/28, 2022. More than 60 potential junior employees were introduced to the topic of organic electrosynthesis, electrodes, electrolysers and electrochemical processes and learned about the ETOS concept phase project of the BMBF's Future Cluster Initiative.

The workshop provided the participants with knowledge about ETOS. We hope that this aroused great interest in future research in the field of organic electrosynthesis and electrochemical process technologies.

The presentations by Prof. S.R. Waldvogel (JGU Mainz), Prof. Dr.-Ing. U. Krewer (KIT), Prof. Dr.-Ing. J. Sauer (KIT), Prof. Dr.-Ing. B.J.M. Etzold (TU Darmstadt) and Dr. N. Aust (BASF) illuminated the topic from all sides, both from an academic and an industrial perspective.

We would like to thank the participating speakers, cooperation partners, universities and participants for the excellent cooperation, stimulating discussions and positive feedback!

Winter School in January 2022

January 27 and 28, 2022 each from 9:00 to 15:30

Electroorganic synthesis is an important building block in sustainable chemistry for the defossilization of the chemical industry. As part of the BMBF Future Cluster Initiative, ETOS plans to be the first major technology platform to build bridges between organic synthesis chemistry and (electro)chemical process and reaction engineering and to generate novel solutions and key technologies for sustainable, robust and future-proof processes and products along the entire value chain. The Winter School gives students an overview of the chemical and engineering challenges of developing this alternative sustainable technology.

The aim of the Winter School is to teach the basics of the technology and process development and optimization up to industrial competitiveness using this application example. Participation in the event is free of charge and is confirmed by a certificate.

Speakers will include Dr. Nicola Aust (BASF), Prof. Dr. Siegfried R. Waldvogel (JGU Mainz), Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrike Krewer (KIT Karlsruhe), Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bastian J. M. Etzold (TU Darmstadt) and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Sauer (KIT Karlsruhe).

Topics:

- Chemical fundamentals of organic electrosynthesis
- electrodes
- Electrolyzers
- Electrochemical processes
The event will take place as a digital event. Registration is possible until January 26, 2022 via

Feedback on the workshop for the industry on December 9, 2021

Summary of the workshop for industry on December 9, 2021:

On December 9, the ETOS Workshop with the industry took place. In addition to the presentation of the topics of electrosynthesis, electrolyzers and electrode materials for organic synthesis by Prof. Dr. Waldvogel and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Krewer, there were further initiative lectures by experts from industry. At the end of the workshop, targeted surveys and a lively discussion set the course for the ETOS innovation network. The ETOS team considers the workshop a complete success!

We are delighted with the very positive feedback from the industry, would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants once again and look forward to a good cooperation!

We are still looking for potential partners after the workshop. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information about ETOS.
