Biobased Transitions

The year is 2073 and the world runs on 100% sustainable raw materials and energy sources. The stock market value of oil giants such as Shell and Saudi Aramco has evaporated. What has ensured that there are now companies with a stock market value of 1,000 billion euros, which derive their value solely from biobased raw materials? Which, then still small, transitions formed the basis for overcoming the addiction to fossil raw materials? The Biobased Transitions lectorate is looking for answers to these questions.

The Biobased Transitions lectorate (professor Martijn Zieverink) consists of researchers and lecturer-researchers from a wide variety of domains, all needed to accelerate the biobased transition. Our lecturer-researchers conduct practice-oriented research together with (international) companies, research institutes and students. This is usually done in the form of grant and education projects.

Our mission

To investigate, visualize and remove the hurdles that currently hinder the large-scale use of non-fossil raw materials, with the aim of realizing a real transition.

What does the lectorate offer?

The Biobased Transitions lectorate conducts practice-oriented research for and with companies. We almost always involve students in this. If you have a practice-oriented question within one of our research themes, please contact us. We will then look together at whether and how we can address the question and what the possibilities are to obtain a subsidy for this.
We are always interested in enthusiastic lecturers who want to come and do research at our lectorate. We have hours available for this. If you are interested, please contact us.

We try to involve as many students as possible in the research that the lectorate conducts. This means that we have interesting internship and graduation assignments. You can find the assignments here.
