FORTHEM Match-Making Event – Green Chemistry

As a way to strenghten its research community, FORTHEM Alliance organizes a series of online internal match-making events. By bringing together identified areas of excellence in research, the FORTHEM R&I Services and Policy Office wants to encourage and support joint project proposals and cooperation with non-academic stakeholders.

In short presentations, scientists present their research, and in-depth discussions will be continued in the corresponding sessions.

JGU will host the initial event of the series with a focus on Green Chemistry:
