Education

The University of Massachusetts, Boston became the first university in the World to offer a Ph.D. in Green Chemistry.[15] In 2005, the University of Oregon's chemistry department unveiled the Greener Education Materials, a database of green chemistry topics.[16] In 2009, Oxford University Press/ACS Symposium Series published Green Chemistry Education: Changing the Course of Chemistry.[17] The book contains essays from a broad array of educators who share their best practices for the incorporation of green chemistry into the chemistry and chemical engineering curricula.

There are many green chemistry courses available in the UK at an MSc level. These include MSc in Green Chemistry & Sustainable Industrial Technology at the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence based at the University of York, MSc Chemical Research in Green Chemistry at Leicester University and MRes in Green Chemistry at Imperial College London. A masters level course in Green Technology, has been introduced by the Institute of Chemical Technology,India in 2010. This is the first of its kind in India and aims at educating students about cleaner & more sustainable mechanisms for a greener tomorrow
