Knowledge centers taking on world wide challenges

in #brightlands8 years ago

A community of international researchers, entrepreneurs and students work together on sustainable solutions in materials, health and nutrition.

Great Things Happen When Knowledge Crosses Borders
There are just a few places in the world that truly focus on achieving major, radical change, but that’s exactly what Brightlands is out to do. We are building a record of amazing breakthroughs in health, nutrition and materials. We are located at the heart of the Eindhoven-Aachen-Leuven cross-border technology triangle.

We are performing basic research and applying knowledge crucial to the medical world.

Focusing on Great Things
The breakthroughs emerging from the Brightlands campuses and ecosystem are not about making the world just a little bit healthier. We’re not even looking at ways to stretch increasingly scarce raw materials for just a few more years.

Instead, we are dedicated to inventing solutions and shifting society to meet the great global challenges of our time. We want to develop materials, enhance healthcare, and improve nutrition using resources that we will always have rather than using what we can still burn up or cut down until we have exhausted our resources.

Defining the Cutting Edge
We live in amazing times and Brightlands is an amazing place. Working within the Brightlands ecosystem doesn’t mean working on the cutting edge, it means defining the cutting edge. Our innovators touch upon every aspect of human, plant, and animal life, from biomedical materials and biosynthesis, to bio-based, chemical, and performance materials.

Being part of this innovation community is inspiring. We cover expertise, experimentation, and education. We share a passion for solving problems by creating opportunities from things many people can only guess at. We drill down to the molecular and submolecular level and then scale up massively to meet real-world health, materials, and food challenges. At Brightlands we smash through scientific, geographical, and organisational barriers. We create smart, sustainable products and services. We invest in knowledge and ideas and seek to answer the question, “What if?”

The Result? We have great stories to tell.

Be here to be the best
This is why Brightlands’ dynamic campuses and pioneering fields of interest attract leading researchers, educators and students, product developers and entrepreneurs in physical and medical science. These are exceptional people who use their expertise to think outside conventions and so turn insane ideas into genius solutions that improve our future. Perhaps more important, Brightlands creates a climate where these remarkable people can excel.

Collaboration and happy coincidence. Optimism and positivity. Bizarre ideas and unexpected insights. Co-creation, collaboration, and individual brilliance. Connecting and combining to create solutions that are environmentally sound, financially attractive, socially positive and that make this great region proud. That’s Brightlands—knowledge crossing borders.
