To reduce or eliminate toxic chemicals and promote a shift to a sustainable society – that is the purpose of the research programme Mistra SafeChem. 

The framework for green chemistry and the tools for evaluating effects and risks with synthesis and process paths can promote that development. This is the focal point of this symposium.

The father of green chemistry will speak

You will be inspired by international keynote speakers and presentations by the research and industry community:

• Paul Anastas, Director of the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale University – The father of green chemistry
• Lutz Ackermann, Professor at the Georg-August-University Göttingen. Founder and Director of the Woehler Research Institute for Sustainable Chemistry.
• Jason Snape, Global Head of Environmental Protection, AstraZeneca

Researchers from Mistra SafeChem will talk about the programme’s current research:

• Aji Mathew, Professor in materials chemistry, Stockholm University: About innovative solutions in textile recycling
• Per-Olof Syrén, Associated professor in chemistry for life sciences, KTH: About biocatalytic synthesis processes as tools in green chemistry
• Ian Cotgreave, Professor in toxicology, RISE: About hazard assessments and the Mistra SafeChem toolbox

Attend in person or digitally
