Lecture Kitty Nijmeijer Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Natuurkunde Diligentia
On invitation of the Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Natuurkunde Diligentia Kitty Nijmeijer presented her lecture entitled 鈥楳embranes for a sustainable future 鈥榥o time to waste鈥� in The Hague on Monday February 20, 2023.
During this lecture she will discuss how we can tailor the structure, morphology and functionality of membranes to control the separation performance such that such membranes can be used in the separation of rest streams for reuse.

TEDx talk prof. Kitty Nijmeijer: Useful from useless
With our current way of living we need much more resources than our planet can provide. We produce tremendous amounts of waste. We use, consume and dispose. This needs to change for the future of our children and grandchildren. Waste is a resource that we can use again. In this talk, Prof. Kitty Nijmeijer will show you how we can reuse our waste to produce for example fuels, plastics and chemicals in a sustainable way.

TEDx talk Prof. Kitty Nijmeijer: 鈥楳embranes can provide everyone with clean water for everyone鈥�
Every single minute, two people die because they do not have access to clean water. That means that in the 10 minutes that you watch this video, 20 people will die. But we can change this: We can provide everyone on this planet with clean water! In this TEDx talk, Professor Kitty Nijmeijer demonstrates how we can use membranes to transform a glass of dirty water into a glass of delicious, fresh drinking water. Clean water for everyone is not a dream, with membranes it can be reality!
