ISC3 Joins the Elsevier Foundation Green & Sustainable Chemistry Challenge - Seite 2

"For the Elsevier Foundation, partnering with ISC3 means building a stronger capacity building community around our winners, providing far greater access to experts, knowledge, innovation and grants in a burgeoning field," added Ylann Schemm, Director of the Elsevier Foundation.

Senior Chemistry Publisher, Rob van Daalen who founded the Challenge in 2015, noted, "The partnership with the ISC3 will greatly complement our existing network, going beyond our strong academic focus to include other key stakeholders -- industry and policymakers -- in the green and sustainable chemistry ecosystem.

"This is very beneficial for our Challenge award winners and the reach of this critical field which needs multisectoral support to grow."
