Visit from Richmond Hill

On April 17, a high-level delegation from Richmond Hill, Canada, visited our CampusLab.

The focus was on innovation, sustainable development, and international collaboration. We introduced the CampusLab concept, including biorefinery, start-up activities, the Humboldt Principle 4.0, LCA approaches, and science communication formats such as the Kinderforscher program. Dr. Joana Gil Chavez, CEO of Lignopure, also presented the successful TUHH spin-off, which transforms lignin into high-quality, sustainable materials.

The visit highlighted how research, entrepreneurship, circular economy, and science communication come together in our facilities.
