Redesigning innovative learning in chemical process engineering
The Erasmus+ project InnoLAB - Innovative Learning Across Borders is developing new didactic approaches for training in chemical engineering. The focus is on future-oriented topics such as sustainability, digitalization, life cycle analysis and process intensification. The close cooperation between four European universities is creating a practical, internationally networked and skills-oriented teaching concept that prepares students for the challenges of the energy transition and industrial transformation.

Innovative Learning Across Borders
InnoLAB is a European cooperation project within the Erasmus+ programme that modernizes university teaching in the field of chemical engineering. The aim is to optimally prepare students for the technological, ecological and social challenges of the future - particularly in the context of sustainability, life cycle analysis, digitalization and process intensification.
Four European universities are working together to develop innovative teaching and learning formats that promote practical relevance and international cooperation. The focus is on the development of interactive case studies, digital benchmarking tools and a competence-oriented didactic framework that involves teachers and learners alike.
InnoLAB stands for:
- Cross-border collaboration between students, teachers and researchers
- Linking current research and university teaching
- Promoting teamwork, creativity and critical thinking
- Developing open, transferable learning materials for the entire educational community
In close cooperation with the partner universities, a modular teaching concept is being developed that can be used throughout Europe - for a sustainable education in chemical engineering.
