Practical Green Chemistry Tools and Techniques for Research and Development Scientists
This workshop will equip practicing chemists and engineers, as well as graduate students, with practical tools, methods and metrics. The content of the workshop will start with green chemistry basics and then focus on the most recent innovative tools and metrics that are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. The workshop will be tailored toward scientists working in the pharmaceutical industry, but the tools could be applied to other chemical industries as well. This workshop requires preregistration. Please email gci@acs.org.

Green Chemistry Student Chapters: Success Stories
The Green Chemistry Award has quickly become one of the most sought after accolades for student chapters. To be eligible for green chemistry status, chapters must engage in at least three green chemistry activities per year, ranging from community outreach activities to hosting invited speakers. This symposium will provide a platform for student chapters who have been awarded green chemistry status to share their unique strategies and stories. Through peer-to-peer student conversations, more student chapters may be inspired and empowered to achieve green chemistry status.
Monday, March 23, 8:30 am
Terrace Ballroom II & III – Theater 4, PA Convention Center
Green Chemistry & Engineering: Designing & Discovering Innovative Solutions to Achieve a Sustainable...
This full-day symposium will feature speakers who are active in developing novel, green and sustainable chemistries and technologies, including research that has been financially supported by the ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable. Research topics presented, such as biocatalysis, non-precious-metal catalysis, C-H activation, and flow chemistry, align with the Roundtable's vision of a sustainable pharmaceutical industry. Celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, the ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable's activities are driven by the shared belief that green chemistry and engineering is imperative for society, business, and environmental sustainability.
Wednesday, March 25, 8 a.m. & 1 p.m.
