Innovation, Research, Entrepreneurship
The general objective of CHASS is to educate 4 Early Stage Researchers (ESR) candidates in the context of a doctoral training network with strong, multi-faceted emphasis on world leading research, industrial innovation and entrepreneurship. The programme will additionally generate knowledge to enhance the performance of Cu-zeolite materials for the abatement of NOx by NH3-SCR.
