One of the goals of labs@location is networking between leading research and industry facilities. The program has built up a strong reputation for implementing a certain technology, application or workflow. The correlative setup at the University of Liege is unique in its capability to bring together multiple analytical techniques in a single laboratory.
The group, led by Prof. Pirard, has been conducting research using advanced characterization techniques for over 20 years and is a member of a number of pan European projects such as KIK EIT Raw Materials. ZEISS has provided a scholarship at the University of Liege in which the GeMMe group is investigating improvements to the efficiency of the circular economy through a quantitative understanding of e-waste utilizing correlative automated mineralogy. ZEISS also contributes via teaching of the latest development in automated mineralogy on the Emerald Master’s program at the University of Liege.
