and sustainability and the environment in an international context,” says Professor Mol. “As a researcher, I consider it a privilege to be able to track developments from up close in this part of the world, at this point in history. We can be very proud that we saw this coming early on, of course, but having good partners and financial opportunities were just as important.” According to Professor Mol, China is “hot”: “Scientists from all over the world are knocking at China’s door. We need to be realistic: the Netherlands is a small country and China is gigantic. Thanks to PSA, we have a long-term collaboration at top scientific level. That is now paying off, and that’s why it’s strategically clever to continue investing in scientific relationships with China.”
“Whenever I’m in China, I come up with new ideas.” Professor Arthur Mol
