Chemistry for the environment
Venice, Italy, September 12-14, 2001
The inter-university consortium "Chemistry for the environment" (INCA) is collaborating with IUPAC and the OECD (Organisation for economic cooperation and development) to organise a workshop on "Green chemistry education". The workshop, in combination with the fourth summer school on green chemistry, will be held in Venice from 12 to 14 September 2001.
The workshop will be open to representatives (governmental institutions, academia and industry, national and international chemical societies, industrial organisations, environmental institutions and associations) with a relevant background in green chemistry educational themes.
The workshop topics include:
- Existing government and industry programmes (R&D, awards, information, tools, etc.) useful for incorporating green chemistry into the education systems;
- Existing green chemistry educational material, tools, initiatives and sources;
- Educational areas which address green chemistry education;
- Elaboration and carrying out the green chemistry educational programs/projects with new educational materials/tools;
- Commitments and recommendations necessary to carry out green chemistry educational programs.
The OECD will use the workshop results for its overall project on sustainable chemistry.
