Green Chemistry webinar
The Green Chemistry webinar is arranged by the C1 Value Academy Programme and the University of Helsinki on 28 April at 10.00–12.00 in connection with the ChemBio Finland Virtual Pre-Event.
Professor Matthias Beller from Leibniz Institute for Catalysis at the University of Rostock (Germany) will describe new findings in catalyst research on activating small molecules. The subject touches directly on the C1 Value Academy Programme, which aims to generate chemical reactions involving C1 compounds. Projects belonging to the C1 Value Programme will introduce their research work with the help of short videos.
The event is part of the official programme of the Year of Research-Based Knowledge 2021.
