We aim to use our scientific expertise for knowledge creation and the validation and development of effective insect control products that can protect the general public, and the developing world in particular, from nuisance and pest insects and insect-transmitted diseases and thereby improve global health and prosperity.

To achieve this, we will not stay within the walls of our laboratory in The Netherlands, but we will collaborate extensively with partners from developing countries (such as Tanzania, Kenya, Benin, Brazil, Aruba and Thailand) and establish parallel product development in areas where insect control is needed the most.

By offering the option for producers of consumer insect products to have their products tested by an independent research institute, we can validate and help improve insect control measures, as well as correctly inform the general public and protect them from malware.
