Continuous chemical processes have attracted both academic and industrial interest. In this lecture I will discuss new catalytic methods, particularly continuous photochemistry using solids in serial micro-batch reactors. Chemical assembly systems, where flow-reaction modules are linked together in an interchangeable fashion to access a wide chemical space will be introduced. These systems exhibit control at three different levels, choice of starting material, reagent, and order of reaction modules. One particular area of interest to us is the production of much needed medications against malaria (artemisinin derivatives) and HIV (Efavirenz).<sup> </sup> These processes are now being implemented on production scale.
