Conference Description
This GRC, initiated in 1996 under the title "Environmentally Benign Organic Synthesis" and now known as "Green Chemistry" has become one of the most important multidisciplinary meetings in the area of sustainable chemistry. The conference is bi-annual and has traditionally alternated between US and European sites to facilitate attendance from the very large international community of scientists active in this area. Green Chemistry was defined by Anastas and Warner through the "12 Principles of Green Chemistry", and these are widely referred to today by scientists worldwide, in industry and academia, as the key elements to a sustainable future. This conference focuses upon the cutting edge developments required to design chemical products and processes that: have a smaller environmental impact, both in their manufacture and use; are produced in an energy-efficient manner with the least possible intrinsic hazards; and have been designed for inherent safety for human health and the environment. Key focus areas of Green Chemistry and Processing cover innovative synthetic methods, green separation and solvents, sustainable sources of energy, green chemistry in consumer products, renewable feedstocks, green chemistry and nanotechnology and the role of green chemistry in climate change. This is a lively and exciting conference. Speakers are chosen to provide a broad, up-to-date overview of this rapidly evolving and multi-disciplinary field, as well as covering emerging discoveries, breakthroughs and hot topics. Issues of regulation and metrology are also discussed. In addition to exciting presentations by invited speakers, ample time is provided for stimulating discussions within the formal sessions and all attendees have the opportunity to contribute to the meeting outcomes. Contributed posters are also a part of the program with invited flash presentations from this group. We are delighted that in 2012 the GRC will be preceded by the first Gordon Research Seminar in Green Chemistry and are looking forward to the participation of many in this next generation of Green Chemists in this GRC. We encourage broad participation in this highly inclusive meeting and look forward to interacting with a diverse group of individuals interested in Green Chemistry. A Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) is held in conjunction with this Conference. Click here for more information about the associated GRS.
