Bundling of Expertise in the area of Sustainable Chemistry: Conceptualization and Establishment of an International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre | Umweltbundesamt

With this project the International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3) and the corre-sponding International Sustainable Chemistry Network (ISCnet) for experts and stakeholders were established at a conference in May 2017. Objectives, tasks and a concept of the centre were developed in cooperation with international experts. From a thematic perspective, the holistic concept of Sustain-able Chemistry proved to be a particularly suitable way to link the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Devel-opment with chemical innovations. To facilitate the centre’s start, three studies were conducted.
