ARC Training Centre for Green Chemistry in Manufacturing

The ARC Training Centre for Green Chemistry in Manufacturing is an interdisciplinary research and training environment centred on green and sustainable chemistry. The Centre, comprising of university, industry, government authorities and key industry bodies, aims to transform and revitalise Australian Manufacturing through the adoption of green and sustainable chemical technologies. We see the application of green chemistry principles as key to developing chemicals that are not only safer, but also maintain or exceed performance and are cost effective. With input from both the academic leaders and industry, the ARC Training for Green Chemistry in Manufacturing has the following aims: * Develop industry ready PhD graduates and post-doctoral fellows with strong experience in the theory and practice of green and sustainable chemistry * Provide postgraduate researchers and post-doctoral fellows with industry relevant skills, capabilities and strategies that will give them the confidence to lead the transition of the Australian Manufacturing Industry * Exploit key knowledge in green chemistry to develop novel products and processes with commercial applicability * Bring together industry, researchers and associations to lead a four year program developing a high quality, industry relevant cohort and network of graduates and researchers * Train the existing workforce to help drive a vibrant modern and sustainable Australian Manufacturing Industry
