About Corporate Research & Development
Driving progress through research. Providing material solutions for the world’s most pressing challenges and anticipating the needs of our customers requires a high level of investment in research. Umicore’s Group Research capabilities focus on new materials and processes to address the megatrends of resource scarcity and clean mobility. The nature of research and development means that we cannot stand still. Our Computational Science Team in Hanau (Germany) and Olen (Belgium) works in the areas physical-chemical simulation, computational fluid dynamics, AI and machine learning, and materials modelling. In this way we accelerate Umicore’s research and development, help to tailor our products to customer requirements and make our production processes more efficient. We achieve this through close collaboration with external research partners, for example the Umicore research lab at TU Darmstadt.
