Industrial Club

The iPRD Industrial Club provides a cross-sector forum for developing innovative solutions for the process industries. Members meet twice a year to share their experiences and discuss current challenges in chemical manufacture.

The Industrial Club gives member organisations an opportunity to:

Learn of new process technologies being developed within Leeds and beyond
Highlight generic cross-sector challenges in chemical manufacture
Develop research collaborations (single- or multi-organisation projects) to lever external funding
Interact with experts in reactions (synthesis, catalysis, biocatalysis), downstream processing (separation, isolation, crystallisation), process optimisation (flow vs batch; digital optimisation approaches), sustainability (novel reaction media and processing, life cycle analysis), and process modelling (scale-up, techno-economic and fluidics)
Facilitate knowledge transfer, confidentiality agreements and licensing discussions
