  1. European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences Green-sustainable chemistry Dr. Nineta Majcen Green and Sustainable Chemistry, Ca' Foscari University of Venice, June 8th, 2012 www.euchems.eu

  2. EuCheMS: 44 member organizations in 34 European countries (geographical Europe), representing ca. 160.000 individual chemists in industry, academia, government and professional organisations. www.euchems.eu www.euchems.eu

  3. Role of green-sustainable chemistry Industrial revolution  Horizon 2020  Environmental aspects  Green jobs www.euchems.eu

  4. Mission Growth: Europe at the lead of the new industrial revolution It will affect many economic sectors and it will be accompanied by technological innovation and the creation of new professional figures, such as • New materials and nanotechnologies • Innovations in the chemical sector and biotechnologies as to create sustainable and competitive biofuels www.euchems.eu

  5. Mission Growth: Europe at the lead of the new industrial revolution Green technologies big opportunity for European firms; the global market for environmental goods and services is expected to double/triple by 2020 Employment growth in eco-industry 2000/2008 6,98 % (in average) www.euchems.eu

  6. How can EU action help? • Overcoming the bottleneck of access to finance • Consultation: enabling consumers to spur industrial innovation • Reinforce initiatives to relaunch growth with short-term actions www.euchems.eu

  7. Horizon 2020 – general objective Horizon 2020 shall contribute to building an economy based on knowledge andinnovation across the whole Union by leveraging sufficient additional research,development and innovation funding. Thereby, it shall support the implementation ofthe Europe 2020 strategy and other Union policies, as well as the achievement andfunctioning of the European Research Area (ERA). www.euchems.eu

  8. Horizon 2020 – priorities • Excellent science • Industrial leadership • Societal challenges www.euchems.eu

  9. „Novel green innovation alliances and industrial symbiosis shall be fostered allowingindustries to diversify, expand their business models, re-using their waste as a basis for newproductions, e.g. CO2 as carbon base for fine chemicals and alternative fuels.“ „Enabling the transition towards a green economy through eco-innovation“ „A number of the so-called twelve rules of GreenChemistry are also addressed by biotechnology“ www.euchems.eu

  10. European Forum for Science and Industry • A EFSIhas been created by the Joint Research Centre of the EC to strengthen dialogue and cooperation on the science needs of industry in key sectors for European competitiveness. http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/jrc/index.cfm?id=6660 • Eco-industry conference http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/jrc/index.cfm?id=1410&obj_id=4110&dt_code=EVN • A practical guide to green products and services http://publications.jrc.ec.europa/repository/handle/111111111/25589. www.euchems.eu

  11. Environmental aspect • Green week 2012: „Every drop counts“ • 3rdEuropean water conference • European green capital www.euchems.eu
