General information about the MOOC series
Welcome to the Tailored Materials and Enzymes for Industrial Processes MOOC-series!
The three courses in the “Tailored Materials and Enzymes for Industrial Processes” MOOC-series have been created in the frame of the H2020-MSCA-ITN-EID INTERfaces project (grant agreement No 860414) and are designed to give interested people an in-depth introduction to biocatalysis and how the modification and optimization of materials and processes can lead to sustainable biocatalytic processes, which can be used in an industrial environment. The focus lies on the basic concepts of biocatalysis and process engineering. Learners can develop their knowledge through videos and quizzes.
The first course “Basic Module” is an introductory fundamental course focusing on enzymes, their production and modification via protein engineering, biocatalytic synthesis in organic chemistry, and optimization of the enzymatic applications with process engineering.
The second course “Advanced Module” focuses on state-of-the-art enzyme immobilization techniques, different methods used based on carrier materials and binding chemistries, assessment of immobilized enzymes' performance, and the use of immobilized enzymes in different reactors. Furthermore, we will introduce industrial biocatalytic applications synthesizing chemicals and downstream processing methods towards their isolation.
The third course “Sustainability and Industrial Applications” discusses the relevance of enzymatic processes concerning their sustainability and how biocatalysis can make industrial processes economically and ecologically feasible.
The three different MOOCs can be attended independently of each other, but we suggest following them in the intended order. Successful completion of these courses will provide participants with the fundamental knowledge of biocatalysis.
This MOOC-series has been developed and realized in the frame of the project INTERfaces - Heterogeneous biocatalysis reaction cascades training network (H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Networks (ITN) – European Industrial Doctorates (EID)). All involved teachers have been affiliated with this project and are renowned for their excellence in their respective fields.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 860414.
