Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental MedicineSustainable Chemistry: virtual lectures at Leuphana University Lüneburg
Learning to understand and apply chemistry in the context of sustainability – from the molecular level to global product flows, sustainability assessment and alternative business models for chemical products – is the aim of the international professional Master’s program ”M.Sc. Sustainable Chemistry” at Leuphana University Lüneburg.
In collaboration with Prof. Ralf Ebinghaus of the Helmholtz Centre Hereon in Geesthacht, we will be offering the module “Law, International Regulations & Chemicals Management“.
In our virtual lectures, we will discuss the challenges of assessing biocides, cosmetics, industrial chemicals, and foods with regard to potential risks to human health and the environment and of getting these substances authorized. The team of the Fraunhofer ITEM Department of Regulatory Affairs has many years of experience, enabling detailed insights into the individual regulations and thematic areas.
