Our mission
Mechanochemistry is on trend, with more and more people showing interest in this promising branch of chemistry. However, resources remain limited, and the actors involved do not always know each other. We want to change this by building a community around mechanochemistry through our educational platform.
The two key pillars that build this knowledge hub are a rich repository of resources and a network to connect with other initiatives. Our final goal is to bring together individuals and institutions to actively participate in the platform, which will be the core of our vibrant community.

IMPACTIVE is a European project that synthesises greener pharmaceuticals thanks to mechanochemistry. It is also the driving force behind the creation of this platform. Discover more about us on our webpage!
FAQs
What is the IMPACTIVE Educational platform?
We are a dynamic repository of resources on mechanochemistry, a branch of chemistry that uses mechanical force to drive chemical reactions. Beyond this, our platform includes a network of external institutions, as well as events and news, resulting in a digital ecosystem around mechanochemistry.
What can I find on the IMPACTIVE Educational platform?
On this platform, you’ll find a rich catalogue of content related to mechanochemistry, including research articles, interviews, software tools, laboratory protocols, and much more. Resources are available in a variety of formats: text, presentations, videos, audio, and links. Additionally, our platform features a calendar of events and the latest news about mechanochemistry, and a directory of useful organisations — the perfect way to stay informed about all around mechanochemistry!
Who is the IMPACTIVE Educational Platform intended for?
This platform is designed for anyone interested in the field of mechanochemistry. As a meeting point, it can support researchers, as well as teachers and students in chemistry-related disciplines. Professionals from the chemical industry will also find valuable resources here, as will anyone with a personal curiosity about mechanochemistry.
Who is behind the IMPACTIVE Educational Platform?
The European project IMPACTIVE is the driving force behind this platform. This initiative focuses on synthesising active pharmaceutical ingredients in a greener way. How? Thanks to mechanochemistry, of course! Funded with more than €7 million by Horizon Europe, IMPACTIVE brings together 17 partners from academia and industry, collaborating to develop greener production processes that boost sustainability and reinforce the European supply chain.
Can I collaborate with the IMPACTIVE Educational Platform?
Yes, we’d be delighted to! As a collaborative knowledge hub, it includes a formulary where anyone can submit their materials. After a review process, approved resources will be published on the platform with proper credit given to the author(s).
