Chemistry for the Environment

17 September 2021, online

Registration: https://hopin.com/events/chemistry-for-the-environment

The next ten years represent our last chance to reverse the highly damaging effects our industrialised societies have had on our environment. It will certainly be the most important decade in history in terms of the impact our decisions will have on both our environment and societies.  The expectation is that scientists will find these solutions, but the challenges go far beyond scaling up research. The next generation of scientists will need to break out of the lab and confidently address the related issues of policy, funding and public engagement.

To address this the Biotechnology and Environmental Chemistry special interest groups of the Royal Society of Chemistry are organising a unique event for scientists who want to do more for the environment. Please join us and an excellent line up of speakers to find out more about:

• The best way to enhance the environmental impact of your research
• Generating impact through launching a start-up or working with industry
• Working with policy teams and funders to maximise impact
  

Our hope for the day is to leave you energised with a new network of like-minded scientists and a greater understanding of what is required from funders and policy makers to maximise impact.

We look forward to seeing you there.
