The School of chemistry and biochemistry perpetuates the development of fundamental knowledge in chemistry and in biochemistry, which is required in order to solve the scientific challenges of our society:

• Development of highly selective and environmentally benign methods of organic synthesis.
• Elucidation and modelling of the behaviour of complex molecules on ever shorter time scales.
• Elaboration of new supramolecular architectures on the nanometer scale with promising microscopic and macroscopic properties.
• Development of analytical techniques surpassing today's frontiers of precision, in order to identify ultra-trace species in complex environments.
• Work towards an in-depth understanding of the biomacromolecules involved in the processes governing the living world at the interfaces between chemistry, biology and medicine.
• Development and optimisation of alternatives to fossil fuels as sources of energy.
