A fitting tribute to our former Advisory Board member

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.
