Dietrich Tegtmeyer to deliver Heidemann Lecture in Lyon
05/08/2025
Dr Tegtmeyer, who previously served as Global Head of Business Development and Industry Relations at leather chemicals group TFL, told Leatherbiz he will use the lecture to reflect on the potential of collagen beyond leather. “I will talk about collagen in general and the use as well as applications beside leather,” he said. “The idea is to inspire R&D work to generate value out of by-products from the leather industry.”
The Heidemann Lecture is a keynote presented at each IULTCS Congress in memory of Professor Dr Eckhardt Heidemann (1925–1999), who made significant practical contributions to the science of leather manufacture and held a lifelong interest in the structure and properties of the collagen molecule.
The XXXVIII IULTCS Congress will take place in Lyon, France, from September 8–11, and registration is available at the congress website
