Festival Feel the Chemistry

Celebrating 80 years of Science & Innovation

Once upon a time…
How would Alice have felt, walking around in her wonderland? We imagine that visitors entering Brightlands Chemelot Campus, feel a bit like Alice. It truly is a fairy tale what happens here, behind the safe gates and walls of all the different companies and institutes located here together. The magic always starts with a good story.

Ours is that 80 years ago DSM recognized the importance of science. Understanding nature and matter, to create solutions for the challenging problems of our planet. Knowing more, doing better and that’s why DSM opened their first Central Laboratory 80 years ago, located on what is called now Brightlands Chemelot Campus.

Already for 80 years, our mission is to make a difference and find breakthroughs to make the world a better place. Science is what binds us, all those curious and astute minds in our community. We share a history, but also the future.  We invite you warmly to join us on our journey to find the holy grail, a beautiful synonymous borrowed from another fairy tale. And it seems more relevant than ever, can you feel the chemistry?
