Not-for-Profit and Social Entrepreneurship: IUPAC Webinar Series on Entrepreneurship and Chemistry
Conversation between Dr Amy S. Cannon and Prof. Francesca Kerton
WEBINAR Wednesday, 5 February 2025 | 2:00 PM GMT | 3:00 PM CET | 9:00 AM EST
WEBINAR Wednesday, 5 February 2025 | 2:00 PM GMT | 3:00 PM CET | 9:00 AM EST
Organized by the Royal Scientific Society in collaboration with Yale University and UNIDO as part of the prestigious Global GreenChem Program, the event will host the Fathers of Green Chemistry, Prof. Paul Anastas and Prof. John Warner, alongside key stakeholders from government, industry, and academia.
The discussions will explore how Green Chemistry can fundamentally reform the concept of chemical safety, providing innovative solutions to reduce the burden of chemical management while advancing sustainability and driving industrial innovation.
This free, virtual workshop is designed to help educators effectively adapt and implement a new case study that examines the various considerations and factors driving greener innovations in the metal plating industry. One of the primary chemicals used in this sector is PFAS, which acts as a fume suppressant to control chromic acid mist during the chrome plating process. While PFAS reduces exposure to the known health hazard of hexavalent chromium, its health and environmental impacts raise significant concerns, underscoring the need for greener alternatives.
Date & Location
May 6 - 8, 2025 in Traverse City, MI, USA
Purpose & Objectives
To build global commercialization bridges across sectors to realize the value of wood residuals for a profitable and sustainable economy.
Who Should Attend
The conference is being organised in partnership with the ScotCHEM (the consortium of Scottish Chemistry Departments), and the University of St.
The aim of this conference is to convene chemists, physicists, biologists, material scientists, and engineers from both academic and industrial institutes to share new developments and techniques in the domain of bio-inspired, bio-based, and bio-sourced chemistry and materials development. The conference will highlight recent advances in engineering and materials science that employ bio-inspired techniques and materials.
Join the National Academies for a discussion about the future of consumer products in a decarbonizing world on Dec 6, 2024 from 1:30PM - 2:45 PM ET.
Join this month’s Green Chemistry Connections session on November 20th from 6 to 8 p.m. EST!
Great Lakes Region of the American Chemical Society is an incorporated group of 20 ACS Local Sections the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The Sections work together to sponsor technical meetings, present awards and recognitions, and organize activities of interest to benefit the members and the general public.
How is chemistry connected to social justice? Join the ACS GCI's Sederra Ross, Ph.D. for a webinar on Tuesday, November 13th from 2-3 p.m. which will delve into chemical innovations and green chemistry principles that address environmental inequalities which disproportionately impact marginalized communities, ensuring healthier lives and sustainable futures for all.
