SustainaLab Talks: MOFs and the Nitrogen Crisis
Hosted by SustainaLab
Thursday 8 October 2026 · 3:30pm · Matrix ONE · hosted by SustainaLab
about this room
Can metal-organic frameworks, materials tuned to catch molecules at tiny concentrations, give the Netherlands better nitrogen sensing on farms, and with it better policy? SustainaLab puts the lab, the start-up and the field on one stage.
Stefania Grecea (University of Amsterdam, co-founder of Nano-Hybrids) on what MOF sensors could detect that current kit cannot; Ellart de Wit, CTO of On2Quest, on getting a material from discovery to industrial deployment; Pieter Hoenderken (Impact Smart Solutions) on making sensing data usable for farmers and regulators. Moderated by Marco Tibaldi of Amsterdam Chemistry Network. 15:30 to 18:00, including networking drinks.
Free, in English, at SustainaLab in Matrix ONE, Science Park 301. Registration via the SustainaLab site.
a deep-tech room that tackles the lab-to-market gap head on, on the policy problem Dutch farming cannot get away from. For climate-tech founders, materials researchers and anyone weighing hardware investments.
