Impact

KHEC’s activities aim at a significant impact on key industrial sectors and individual companies, resulting in:

• Reduced economic loss due to decisions made on inferior analytical data/information
• Improvements in process efficiency
• Reduction of raw materials waste
• Reduction of environmental impact
• Increased, documented ROI

KHEC’s activities have a significant impact via continued international academic interaction:

• International external, guest and visiting professorships
• Participating in national, EU or international projects and fundraising
• D. supervision in combination with hosting universities

KHEC’s activities contribute towards improved norm setting achievements a.o. evidenced by:

• Significant standardisation improvements in national and international bodies (DS, CEN, ISO) through implementation of TOS and reference to the unique sampling standard DS 3077 (2013)

• Significant competence improvements through dissemination of the TOS Forum educational platform and Spectroscopy Europe/Asia’s introductory sampling column
• Significant competence outreach through international textbooks: Multivariate Data Analysis, in practice – an Introduction, 6^th edition (2017) and Guide to Industrial Sampling, 1^st edition (2019) (English, Chinese, French editions)

KHEC’s activities are contributing towards increased sustainability in production and manufacturing:

• Risk reduction and improved risk management through TOS , PAT and chemometrics-backed impacts on public health, food, feed, GMO by eliminating inferior (non-representative) information provided to decision-makers and regulating authorities
• Representative sampling results in improved technological, industrial and societal re-circulation capabilities and economies, e.g. continuous waste screening on land and in rivers, lakes and oceans
• Representative sampling is a proven aid regarding reduction in environmental impacts from technological and industrial activities. TOS contributes towards enhanced public awareness and CSR.
