Green Chemistry and Engineering Learning Platform (GChELP)

A range of free, shareable, and interactive educational and training materials created to promote the uptake of green and sustainable methodologies in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. More than thirty multimedia modules cover topics in six core skill areas: Foundations of Green Chemistry and Engineering, Guides and Metrics, Solvents, Synthetic Toolbox, Process Design, and Life Cycle Impacts. 

Monash University Graduate Certificate of Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technologies

The Graduate Certificate of Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technologies provides expert training in ‘green technologies’ focused on chemistry and chemical manufacturing, combined with an understanding of sustainability issues to support the transformation of industry.

The principles of green technologies are aligned to sustainability issues to advance the reduction or elimination of hazardous substances involved in the design, manufacture and application of diverse chemical products.

The environmental, economic and social benefits are also examined.

Sustainable Chemistry and Human Rights

What will you learn? This policy training is meant to support the development of policy input and training of participation on human rights issues, related to Sustainable Chemistry and sustainable development. The training will elaborate on specific human rights (such as the human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment) that are related to the key characteristics of Sustainable Chemistry, as developed by the ISC3.
