| 报告内容摘要： Key challenges of today and the future are a sustainable supply of energy, housing, water and food, but also increasing demands being made on healthcare by the growing and aging population. These are tremendous challenges and, thus, major driving forces for the generation of innovative materials and systems in a chemical company like BASF. Innovation needs inspiration first, so it is essential for modern industrial research to have access to inspiration and innovation coming from different sources, internal as well as external ones, in the quest for new research ideas. An exhaustless pool of external ideas is found in academia - universities are the perfect breeding ground on account of their academic flexibility and research freedom. Here potential innovations often emerge as a by-product of fundamental research. In close cooperation with leading universities BASF cultivates these innovative thoughts and generates a deeper scientific basis and understanding of future materials and systems. In addition to conventional polymer research areas, the themes to be explored include specialty monomers, polymers and polymer materials, hybrid material systems, nanostructured materials, biobased polymeric materials and bioinspired systems. The talk will give an overview about how the spirit of creativity is cultivated within BASF′s research activities and how “Open Innovation” is integrated into R&D processes, where our cooperation with Harvard University, Cambridge, USA serves as an illustrative example. Specific challenges that arise when interacting with academic partners will be addressed as well and discussed openly. |

| Jens Rieger received his PhD in Theoretical Physics at the Universit?t des Saarlandes (Germany). In 1989, he joined BASF in the Polymer Physics Department where he first worked in the field of polymeric materials as project manager. In 1995, he established a group for the study of particle, scale, and crystal formation processes - with emphasis on gaining information about the molecular mechanisms of these phenomena. Two years later he was appointed additionally head of the X-ray diffraction laboratory (small and wide angle X-ray scattering). Besides laboratory equipment the facilities of high radiation sources outside BASF (synchrotron, neutron reactors) are used. Since 2006 he is internal advisor on exploratory research and nanotechnology. Presently he is heading the BASF Advanced Research Initiative at Harvard together with Dave Weitz and George Whitesides. He is Senior Vice President at Advanced Materials and Systems Research - Technology Incubation. Jens Rieger is member of several advisory boards:
He is author or co-author of more than 100 scientific publications, contributions to books and patents. In 2005 Jens Rieger was appointed “Distinguished Guest Professor” at the “Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry” (CIAC), Chinese Academy of Sciences.
