Conference Description
The Green Chemistry GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The field of Green Chemistry has recently been recognized as one of the most consequential developments in chemistry over the last 100 years. Its goals include mitigating hazards ranging from acute and chronic toxicity to physical hazards associated with chemical use, as well as addressing global challenges such as climate change or loss of biodiversity in an effort to create a more sustainable world.
The focus of this meeting will be to showcase how Green Chemistry can contribute solutions to existing global sustainability challenges. As does Green Chemistry, this meeting embraces a multidisciplinary approach and topics include considerations across the whole life cycle including feedstock selection; the process of conversion to products; how to design for recyclability or degradability at end-of-life; but also how to quantify Green Chemistry innovations; and how Green Chemistry solutions can in turn impact our societies. The meeting strives to be highly inclusive and aims to represent research and ideas from across the globe, offers an excellent opportunity for networking, and will include a session on career paths in Green Chemistry.
