Focusing on the areas of product design, process design and process control, the partners in the Pro3 network of competence will work together to assess development needs and the potential for furthering pre-competitive research ('process engineering method development') with a view to establishing and supporting relevant development projects.

To this end, the Pro3 network has set up the following expert committees:

Product design

• Functional particles
• Gas-particle systems
• Polymer technology
• Emulsifying technology
• Food processing

Process modelling and control

• Population-dynamic modelling of disperse and polymer systems
• Modelling, simulation and control of dynamic processes
• Bioprocess technology and biosystems
• Thermodynamics of complex fluids

Reaction engineering

• High-temperature reaction engineering
• Chemical reaction engineering for heterogeneous systems
• Fuel cell systems
• Integrated processes
