Green autumn :-)

The traditional autumn has all colours but green. We tried to change it this year and added a green wave at least in our activities. First, David joined the delegation of UCT Prague, led by its rector prof. Pavel Matějka, attending the kick-off meeting of a trilateral masters program Green chemistry in Vienna (Start for Green Chemistry – Green Chemistry (tuwien.at)). It was a very inspirational event with address from Austrian political representation as well as from world-renowned scientists including e.g. John C. Warner, Martyn Poliafoff or Mike George. It showed us that our quest to implement Green Chemistry into the curriculum of UCT Prague study programs was the right decision. Thus, we were excited when David was invited to give a talk at “Catch the Wave”, a UCT Prague-organized conference to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the university and to present current research trends. David’s lecture was “surprisingly” ;-) dedicated to green chemistry and sustainable catalysis using a few examples from our research. You can watch it together with the other presentations here: Catch the Wave - Vysoká škola chemicko-technologická v Praze (vscht.cz).
