In their biannual meeting, the division “Sustainable Chemistry” within the German Chemical Society (GDCh) will discuss all topics related to sustainable and green chemistry, methodology, synthesis and processes. In the upcoming meeting autumn 2014, the scientific focus will lie on:
- Sustainable Synthesis Including Catalysis and Biotechnology
- Green solvents
- Renewable Feedstocks
- Sustainable Macromolecular Chemistry
- “Assessment and politics”, Green chemistry education
The submission of both poster and oral contributions via the conference website is now open
