As chair and behalf of the local organizing committee, I would like to welcome you to the 4th EuCheMS Conference on Green and Sustainable Chemistry held in Tarragona (Spain) the 22-25 of September 2019. This conference continues the successful meetings held in Budapest (2013), Lisbon (2015) and York (2017) and offers opportunities to discuss the latest developments in green & sustainable chemistry, creation of new partnerships and amplifying existing networks between academia and industry.

The leading topics of this conference will focus on green/bio-polymers, photochemistry & catalysis, electrochemistry & catalysis, carbon dioxide valorization and biomass conversions. These topics continue to challenge the chemical community as a whole but also offer new opportunities for chemistry to alleviate the negative effects of conventional chemical production transitioning toward more sustainable technologies.

During the EUGSC-4, there will be a joint session co-organized by the Division of Chemistry and the Environment (DCE) that will focus on water treatment.

We look forward to welcome you at a vibrant conference series on green and sustainable developments in Southern Europe.

On behalf of the organizing committee,
Arjan Kleij – chair of the EUGSC-4
