Case study development
The first phase of the project is dedicated to the development of innovative technical case studies that take up real processes from research and industry and thus reflect current challenges and developments in the field of chemical process engineering.
A key milestone is the Experts School, which will take place in Naples from May 5 to 9, 2025. It will bring together experts from the four core topics - sustainability, life cycle analysis, process intensification and digitalization - as well as researchers at all career levels from the partner institutions. The aim of the event is to identify relevant industrial processes that can be translated into didactically prepared case studies as part of the project.

In this phase, initial concepts for the case studies are developed, technical challenges are analyzed and possible improvements are discussed. Following the Experts School, these processes are further developed, e.g. by creating interactive process models or simulations that enable learners to independently develop and critically scrutinize improvement strategies.
This structured, research-oriented approach ensures that the case studies developed are both up-to-date in terms of content and innovative in terms of methodology - and thus build a bridge between research, industry and teaching.
