…to Rebecca Dean (Kozak Group) and Khaled Omari (Kerton Group) on their poster prizes at the Sustainable Chemistry Summit this past weekend. The MUN Green Chemistry and Catalysis group won 2 of the 3 prizes available.
This meeting organized by GreenCentre Canada will be held for the 2nd time in 2013. We are already looking forward to it. It was a fantastic experience and a chance to meet not only other University researchers but those from industry, entrepeneurs, tech-transfer specialists, NGO and government reps, consultants….the list goes on. Thank you GreenCentre for organizing this.
Here is a video that was produced in the run-up to this meeting and it tells you a little bit about Green Chemistry:
Khaled, Rebecca, Samantha, Chris and Fran are attending the Sustainable Chemistry Summit in Kingston, Ontario this weekend. We look forward to learning about the road ‘from lab to market’ and meeting new and old friends.
