Beyond Benign provides educators with the tools, training and support to make green chemistry an integral part of chemistry education. UGent GREEN CHEM partner Catherine Cazin has recently signed an agreement to join the BeyondBenign. An introduction to green chemistry is given to the first year students, and a year-long course is embedded in the Master of Chemistry students called Professional skills of the sustainable chemist. In addition, the Master of Science in Bioscience Engineering: Chemistry and Bioprocess Technology, aims to offer a broad education in applied chemistry, biochemical and microbial technology and chemical and biochemical engineering techniques. Not only does our program focus on fundamental knowledge, it also zooms in on industrial production. The study program addresses the social demand for the use of sustainable production processes and clean technologies. More info can be found here.
