An Exciting NEW 3 day course given by
Dr John Andraos, York University, Canada and
Dr Peter Spargo, Scientific Update
How Green is your Chemistry?
Are you endeavouring to be green but not sure just how well you are doing?
You are not alone! The good news is that at last there are some green chemistry metrics that are both meaningful and chemist-friendly! John Andraos, author of the seminal OPRD papers on green chemistry metrics, is joining forces with Scientific Update for this exciting new Green Chemistry course.
This ground-breaking course will provide industrial synthetic organic chemists with tools to facilitate thedevelopment of safe chemical processes with minimal environmental impact.
Built around the well established “Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry”, the course will comprise the following:
- lecture-style presentations
- small group workshops
- real-life case studies (some of them prize-winning)
- worked examples and in-class problem solving sessions
- strong pragmatic emphasis on measurement and metrics analysis
Course participants will gain hands-on experience of assessing the 'greenness' of chemical reactions and synthesis plans. You will be able to make a real difference by applying what they have learnt on this course.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity!
Course Participants - Who is the Course aimed at?
- Organic Chemists in Research and Development who would like to learn how to apply green chemistry principles in their work.
- Development and Production Chemists in industry who would like to improve their environmental performance and gain an insight into greener approaches to chemical development and production.
- Chemical Engineers who wish to effectively partner with chemists in the development of greener processes.
- Students who are about to enter industry and can obtain company sponsorship.
- Young Chemists who have just started work in industry.
- Experienced Chemists looking to refresh and/or augment their knowledge and understanding of green chemistry.
- Managers who wish to help their company achieve their sustainability and environmental goals, and to improve the environmental performance of their section or department.
