Green Chemistry Gordon Research Seminar

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.

Navigating Career Paths & Opportunities in Green Chemistry and Sustainability

Learn about internships, co-ops, and job opportunities from green chemistry and sustainability leaders.


This free, virtual event is designed to empower undergraduate and graduate students with insights and connections to pursue meaningful and impactful careers in green chemistry and sustainability. Participants will hear from and interact directly with industry leaders and academics about career pathways, internship opportunities, and co-ops while building their professional networks.

Join us online on April 17th, 2025 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM EDT!

Canadian National Committee for IUPAC (CNC/IUPAC) Travel Awards

The Canadian National Committee for the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (CNC-IUPAC) established a program of travel awards in 1982 to enable young scientists who are currently working at a Canadian institution to present their work at IUPAC-sponsored conferences. Preference will be given to nominees who are attending an IUPAC sponsored conference outside of Canada. Applicants should be within 10 years of having obtained their PhD.

Green Chemistry Research Grants for Young Scientists

Research in green chemistry and associated areas in biochemistry, geochemistry, biotechnology, ecology and healthcare give young scientists ample opportunity to demonstrate their inventiveness and provide important input to sustainable development. With this in mind, the Green Chemistry for Life project was launched in 2013 by UNESCO’s International Basic Sciences Programme (IBSP) and PhosAgro, the largest producer of phosphate-based fertilizer in Europe, in close cooperation with the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
