The Future We Create handout - International Year of Chemistry 2011

The Future of Sustainable Chemistry
Virtual Conference. Real Substance.
A meeting ground for leading-edge
thinkers and curious minds to learn,
share and act for a better future.
Catalyst for collaboration
Igniting a global dialogue on issues that matter
Moving the conversation forward
The Future of Sustainable Chemistry brings together 30 thought leaders in 60 minutes to explore how the
chemistry community – and other stakeholders – can collaborate to identify sustainable solutions to some
of the world’s most challenging problems.
It begins with a live broadcast from the World Chemistry Leadership Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
An open platform for active online engagement allows participants to use real-time chat tools to connect
with one another, bringing new dimension to the conversation.
This unique format enables substantive discussion in real time, as well as an opportunity to continue meaningful
dialogue long after the live event concludes.
It’s a virtual conference with real substance. And you can be a part of it.
Join the Conversation!
