On Friday 14 September, the Queen’s University Ionic Liquid Laboratories Research Centre (QUILL) at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Queen’s University Belfast hosted a Memorial Seminar for former Green Chemistry Advisory Board, Professor Ken Seddon OBE. Green Chemistry were very proud to sponsor the event.
The extremely-well attended seminar commemorated Ken’s larger-than-life personality and his contributions to science.
You can find out more about Professor Seddon’s contribution to the field of green chemistry in a special Obituary written by Dr John Holbrey and Professor Tom Welton OBE, published in Green Chemistry. Read it here.
