The foundation is a body governed by private law created by the French government in 2007 to support the Strasbourg cluster of excellence in chemistry, which is internationally renowned.
We aim to develop, promote, and energise this research cluster and encourage greater interaction with the socio-economic world to rise to the biggest challenges facing our society.
Chemistry affects our day-to-day lives in often unforeseen ways. Chemistry and its innovations underpin every major aspect of human activity, both present and future: better living conditions, more sustainable ways of manufacturing and consuming, and alternative ways of communicating and travelling using renewable energy and next-generation recyclable materials.
