From academia to industrial research: high-throughput chemistry as a tool to develop catalytic processes

The transition from academia to industry presents both opportunities and challenges for chemists. This talk explores key aspects of entering the chemical industry, including strategies for navigating the application process, understanding the skills most valued by employers, and recognizing the differences between academic research and industrial R&D.
The second part of the talk focuses on high-throughput chemistry, a cutting-edge approach that is revolutionizing industrial research and development. High-throughput chemistry leverages automation, data-rich experimentation, and advanced analytical techniques to enhance the efficiency of chemical screenings and synthesis.
