REQUIMTE/LAQV, an internationally recognised research Centre in the area of Green Chemistry, is centred in 5 Thematic Lines that define focus areas of research in alignment with the new framework for research of the European Commission, Horizon 2020, with its emphasis on Sustainability:
- Novel compounds from renewable sources
- Food quality and safety
- Analytical control and process automation
- Clean (Bio)Chemical processes
- Functional molecules and materials for sustainability
At a more fundamental level REQUIMTE is organized in groups that mirror the basic areas of chemistry:
- Catalysis and functional and smart materials
- Engineering of (bio)chemical processes
- Photochemistry
- Environmental Chemistry and Health
- Analytical Chemistry
- Organic Chemistry
- Food Science
- Natural Products
