2nd International Conference on Green and Sustainable Chemistry
9th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference
Taking Measure of Green Progress: Opportunities to Meet Global Challenges
Washington, DC
This conference will focus on the design, development, and implementation
of chemical processes and products that reduce or eliminate the
use and generation of hazardous substances in a way that is both
feasible and economically viable. The meeting will bring together
leading international researchers from industry, academia, and government
to discuss the current status of the field, how "green"
progress can be measured and quantified, and key opportunities for
the integration of green technologies into global solutions to sustainability.
The program will integrate such key elements as fundamental and
market-driven R&D, the road to innovation, green metrics, and
business models and success stories.

8th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference
“The Business Imperative for Sustainability”
Washington, DC
The Eighth Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference combined
science and business in addressing the theme "Green Chemistry
and Engineering: The Business Imperative for Sustainability".
Green chemistry and engineering focus on the design, development,
and implementation of chemical processes and products that reduce
or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances in a
way that is both feasible and economically viable. The conference
sessions addressed how innovations in green chemistry and engineering
have been successfully implemented and considered what needs to
be done to further the adoption of these technologies in business.

National
Environmental Assistance Summit
Wyndham Baltimore Inner Harbor Hotel, Baltimore, Maryland
At this meeting, participants discussed a successful green engineering
workshop held in Gainesville, Florida in June 2003 and provided
information on how to conduct a green engineering workshop in other
areas. Materials available for download include the meeting presentation,
information on green engineering educational modules, a one-pager
about the green engineering program, the University of Florida sustainability
syllabus, a follow-up survey, and the Florida work plan for the
project.
October 28-30, 2003
P2 Framework (P2 Fr) / Sustainable Futures (SF) Workshop
DePaul University-O'Hare Campus, Des Plaines, IL
June 1-2 2003
Green Engineering Educators Workshop
Gainesville, Florida
More than 50 people attended the first statewide green engineering
educators workshop. Cosponsored by the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP), EPA Region 4, the University of Florida, and
EPA’s Green Engineering program, this workshop presented information
on how to incorporate green engineering concepts into course curricula.
“The workshop has greatly enhanced the material I can show
to my students and use myself. I have used some of it when doing
presentations and lectures in different countries in South America.
The experience was great. I hope they will consider coming back
to Gainesville again.” Dr. Cristian Cardenas
“As you may recall, a group of us from the ‘Undergraduate
Research Center for Cutting-Edge Technologies’ (URCCET) participated
in the workshop. The core of the center’s research initiatives
in a focus on sustainable development.” Ms. Tarsha Dargan.

Green Engineering:
Defining the Principles Conference (36K PDF)
Sandestin, FL
Engineering Conferences International (ECI), a not-for-profit partnership
between the Engineering Conferences Foundation and Polytechnic University,
has teamed with technical co-sponsor American Society of Chemical
Engineers, to bring a weeklong research conference on the definition
of underlying principles for Green Engineering. The goal of the
conference was to establish a set of Green Engineering Principles
that can serve to guide engineers in the design of products and
processes within the constraints placed on them by business and
society, such as safety and cost requirements.
March 30-April 3, 2003
AIChE 2003 Spring National Meeting and Process Industries Exposition
New Orleans, LA
AIChE is a professional association of more than 50,000 members
that provides leadership in advancing the chemical engineering profession.
The national meeting is the premiere forum to learn how to apply
the latest technological information, hear about recent regulatory
developments, find practical and applied data, and meet face-to-face
with other attendees within the chemical engineering industry.
January 22-24, 2003
P2 Framework/PBT Profiler Workshop
EPA Region 8, Denver, CO
EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) developed
computer-based methods that derive important risk assessment information
based on chemical structure and other factors. These methods provide
information on physical/chemical properties, environmental fate,
potential carcinogenicity, and toxicity to aquatic organisms, worker
and general population exposures, among other data. The P2 Framework/PBT
Profiler Workshop demonstrated the use of several risk assessment
models using personal computers.
