Best Practices in Managing Process Research

Chemical process research and development can be thought of as a separate function with its own challenges.  The aim of this session is to share experiences and provide some helpful guidelines in managing chemical process research. Issues like defining the interface between modeling and experimental results, determining what the best scale for experimentation is, and finding the right organizational structure, like how to develop skilled talent, allocate resources, set and track objectives, and collaborate with outside parties and within one’s own organization are some of the relevant aspects in this area.
