As the Fund Bruyns Scholar from October 2025 until July 2026, Makram focuses on the chemical valorization of plastic waste. His research explores how discarded plastic materials can be transformed into useful, sustainable products. For the organization of a public UCSIA event, he envisions a contribution focused on “From Waste to Worth: How Polymer Science Can Drive a Fair Transition in the Global South.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Being in Antwerp gives Makram the chance to collaborate closely with researchers and connect with the chemical industry. He hopes to publish his findings in a leading scientific journal and, ultimately, to see his research translated into real industrial applications \u2014 turning scientific ideas into visible, practical results. Makram also hopes that his work can contribute to society more broadly \u2014 by promoting sustainability and raising awareness about the environmental impact of plastic waste.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
