Activities:
Networking• Strong links with numerous departments
and organisations across campus including: Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Environmental Sciences, Policy and others.
• Hub of the international Green Chemistry Network (GCN), promoting awareness and facilitating education, training and practice of Green Chemistry in industry, commerce, academia, schools and the general public
• The Centre also leads the Green Chemistry Partnership in the Worldwide Universities Network
www.greenchemistry.netwww.greenchemistry.net
Networking Projects:Green Chemistry Network
• Est. 1998 with funding from the Royal Society of Chemistry
• One of the largest international networks of this type in the world
• International membership
• Excellent forum for information exchanges and collaboration
