1st SusChem Days 2019

Objectives and Main Activities

The aims of Suschem Switzerland are

to coordinate activities in Green & Sustainable Chemistry, as well as to provide platforms for experts and stakeholders for the exchange of information and know-how.
To provide visibility for activities and initiatives with regard to Green & Sustainable Chemistry in Switzerland and support our partner to promote their activities on European level.
To further educate on G&SC at various levels (students, academia, industrials, non-scientists). We showcase sustainable processing and the benefits of chemicals versus naturals. Explain and establish sustainability indexes.
To bring to life novel and pre-competitive scientific collaboration models between academia and industry. To the former to drive the science, to the latter to implement it.
To identify common area of interests and implement cross-sectorial collaborations (e.g. solvents, catalysis or the use of renewable feedstock).
To act as influencing group to steer interest in academia versus areas of high industrial interest.

Main activities

Organize the Swiss SusChem days
Organize meetings, seminars and workshops
Award excellence in science with the Green & Sutainable Chemistry Award
Represent Switzerland on European level with delegates in the European Technology platform and SusChem
Take the guest editor role for a CHIMIA issues on aregular basis.
Inform the community via Social Media channels and with the SFC newsletter.
