Chemical engineering is a result of needs to design processes and equipment for the chemical industry. Chemical engineering has evolved to product design in different industrial sectors including consumer products, pharmaceuticals, materials, platform chemicals and energy. Currently, chemical engineering is expanding to new fields to meet emerging challenges in our society such as climate change, ageing and healthcare. In Europe, we have rising and potentially unsustainable healthcare costs due to increasing societal demands, ageing population requiring more diversified care and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. Moreover, we are facing a decrease of research and innovation productivity in the European healthcare industry. These challenges bring also excellent opportunities. Chemical engineering for healthcare is a new multidisciplinary field combining chemical engineering, material sciences and life sciences. It is a holistic field covering functional therapeutics, functional prevention, personal care and sustainable processes. Functional therapeutics involves the creation of new biomaterials for tissue engineering, implants, targeted drug delivery, diagnostics and also processes in drug discovery, purification and crystallisation. Functional prevention involves the holistic of product design and formulation without health threatening additives or components for example in food and performance materials used in construction and automobiles. Personal care focuses on design of sustainable products such as cosmetics, personal hygiene and cleaning products. Sustainable processes involve the development of new processes combining chemical and biochemical processes using bio-based and renewable raw materials. Chemical engineers can contribute actively to create and to improve life quality of our society by incorporating concepts of healthcare in product and process design and enhancing the competitiveness of Europe in advanced healthcare solutions. Education in this field is a pioneering initiative and can inspire a multitude of opportunities in science and business.
