Challenges and opportunities for green and sustainable chemistry
Join our upcoming webinar on Challenges and opportunities for green and sustainable chemistry, where leading researchers and experts will discuss new approaches and recent developments in sustainable chemistry. The webinar brings together speakers from the Mistra SafeChem research programme and international experts to explore how innovation in chemistry can support a safer and more sustainable chemical industry.
Mistra SafeChem is an international research programme that aims to enable and promote the expansion of a safe, sustainable and green chemical industry. The programme brings together researchers from academia, research institutes and industry to develop tools, processes and methods that support safer chemicals and more sustainable production.
The research focuses on innovative production processes, tools for hazard and risk assessment, and life cycle approaches that can reduce the environmental and health impacts of chemicals throughout their life cycle.
In this webinar, researchers from the programme together with invited international speakers will present recent research and discuss key challenges and opportunities for advancing green and sustainable chemistry.
