Associate professor Dr Chris Slootweg at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences has been awarded an NWO Vici grant of 1.5 million euros to develop novel chemical routes for establishing circularity in phosphorus. As one of the largest personal academic grants in the Netherlands, the Vici grant allows scientists to further develop their line of research and strengthen their research group. With his Vici grant, Chris Slootweg sets out to use phosphorus-based waste streams as a resource, to contribute to reducing environmental pollution and create high-value products using novel, eco-friendly methods. Phosphorus compounds are essential for life on earth and play a prominent role in modern science and technology. Organophosphorus compounds are of immense importance for their wide-ranging applications in material science, nanotechnology, and life sciences.
