The aim of KIEM-GoChem is to conduct (explorative) applied research through new practice-oriented research activities. A network of knowledge institutions and practice partners (companies) carries out these research activities. With this scheme, the SIA organization encourages both (sustainable) network formation and the exploration of applied research questions that can be a seed for a follow-up project or innovation. With KIEM GoChem, SMEs that are active within the scope of the scheme are supported in innovation. The funding is a maximum of € 40.000 per application.
