Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Green Chemistry is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is to discuss the latest R&D advances showing how major societal challenges can be addressed using a sustainable chemistry outlook, with an emphasis on the design of safer chemistry and processes, and green catalysis - but all innovative topics using a Green Chemistry/engineering approach are welcome to be submitted. This GRS is an excellent opportunity for young scientists to build a collaborative network within the Green Chemistry community, nurture forward thinking on the role of green chemists in society and working together towards reaching a more sustainable future.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Green Chemistry" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
