How can we reduce the damaging environmental effects of industry and comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations? Substantial efforts are required to devise new technologies and develop cleaner production methods. Cambridge University’s June Horizon seminar entitled ‘Green Frontiers’ will try and reveal the answers by showcasing the new and exciting research being undertaken in novel chemical technologies, waste treatment, materials recycling and process efficiency that minimise waste and lower damage to the environment and human health.

How can we reduce the damaging environmental effects of industry and comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations? Substantial efforts are required to devise new technologies and develop cleaner production methods. Cambridge University’s June Horizon seminar entitled ‘Green Frontiers’ will try and reveal the answers by showcasing the new and exciting research being undertaken in novel chemical technologies, waste treatment, materials recycling and process efficiency that minimise waste and lower damage to the environment and human health.
Leading academic and industry experts from a range of disciplines will explore the key issues and detail the latest scientific advances and new thinking in this field. Our team of expert speakers includes Professor Howard Chase, Professor Derek Fray, Professor Malcolm Mackley, Dr Jonathan Goodman (University of Cambridge), Professor Mark Hillmyer (University of Minnesota) and Andreas Kicherer (Head of eco-efficiency, BASF AG).
Come along and join us at the event which promises to be an indispensable guide to novel chemical technologies with great commercial and scientific potential. The seminar will be of vital interest to companies in chemical and process industries, pharmaceuticals, packaging, the food industry, waste management, as well as all other manufacturers and public sector organisations.
The seminar will take place in the Centre for Mathematical Sciences on 27th June 2006, followed by the Horizon summer garden party and buffet dinner in the grounds of Jesus College.
Seminar fee: £350
