Aalto University School of Chemical Engineering (Finnish: Aalto-yliopiston kemian tekniikan korkeakoulu, Swedish: Aalto-universitetets högskola för kemiteknik) is a part of the Aalto University and one of the four new schools of technology established from the former Aalto University School of Science and Technology on 1 January 2011. The new schools continue to offer education and research that promotes advances in science and technology.
The school teaches and researches sustainable processing and use of natural resources, energy technologies, and new materials, and focuses on the development of environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient processes for the refining of wood, other bio-masses, and inorganic raw materials. Additionally, the School develops new materials and their applications based on these raw materials.[2]
The School of Chemical Engineering combines natural sciences and engineering in a unique way. This allows the results of research to be refined a long way and put into practice as ready products and processes. Each innovation secures both our renewable and non-renewable natural resources for the future.
