The primary goal of the conference is to bring together excellent scientists from industry and academia to exchange ideas at the cutting-edge of Green Chemistry. Green chemistry (also environmentally benign or sustainable chemistry) applies innovation to the design and realisation of chemical products and processes that: have a smaller environmental impact with regards to wastes produced in both manufacture and use; are produced in an energy-efficient manner with the least possible intrinsic hazard; and have been designed for inherent safety for human health and the environment. Green chemistry is driving innovation in both academia and industry and has vastly improved competitiveness in some leading industries. It is one of the few areas of chemistry where the drive for novel research solutions in academia is equalled by industry. As such this is also an excellent conference for younger scientists and students as well as more established researchers in the field.
