Facing Innovation

PICC has been a competence centre of HEIA-FR until the retirement of its founder, Prof. Dr. Rudy Koopmans. Since then, all previously started projects are run until completion by the scientific staff already known and allocated to these projects. You may get in touch directly with these people. In the medium term future, HEIA-FR has initiated quite a while ago a strategic plan on how to capitalize on the remarkable achievement of PICC during the past seven years by reorganising and further developing its activities in advanced bio-sourced materials and processing.
