Lecture: Sustainable and organic environmental chemistry
Marco Reich, Svenja Schloß
Basics of organic chemistry (substance groups, functional groups, physicochemical properties such as reactivity, solubility, boiling point etc.) will be discussed using examples of important chemical substances and everyday products considering their chemistry and use (e.g. fuel, natural gas, solvents, pesticides, synthetic materials, flame retardants, medical drugs, scents, sugars, amino acids, dyes). The lecture will cover the basics for understanding the occurrence and behavior of organic chemicals in the environment. Additionally, the importance of the chemical industry (including sustainable development) and resource relevant topics referring to organic chemistry and to aspects of sustainable chemistry will be covered.

Recent Advances in Green and Sustainable Chemistry
Marco Reich
The latest research and application advances on green and sustainable chemistry will be presented by several experts from different sectors (as real case examples). Emphasis will be given on innovations that provide desirable functions of chemicals, materials, products and production processes, without causing harm to the socio-environment, while at the same time meeting broader socio-development goals across the globe. The proposed contents include important tools for digitalization, carbon footprint analyses, design for circularity, hazard assessment and design of safer chemicals, the ability to scale reactions from lab to plant, and the ability to communicate science to funders, policymakers, and collaborators in different disciplines. The module also proposes the investigation of gender relations in chemicals policy and chemicals management. Diversity and gender expertise should be taken into account when networking with practice partners.
