The Advanced Research Center Chemical Building Blocks Consortium is a Dutch national research center that investigates chemical building blocks for novel sustainable materials. It is a public-private organization in which academic, industrial and governmental partners are cooperating intensively. Its research projects focus on three themes: Functional materials & specialties, coatings and energy carriers. Prof. Bert Weckhuysen is one of the initiators of this grand project and current programme director.
