Merck KGaA’s life science business and Beyond Benign want to reach 1 million university students a year

A project to prepare the next generation of researchers to perform greener chemistry is underway thanks to a partnership between Merck KGaA’s subsidiary MilliporeSigma and the global nonprofit Beyond Benign. The initiative, announced in conjunction with the American Chemical Society’s spring meeting, will provide expanded access to training resources and other support needed to apply greener practices in chemistry education worldwide. It aims to help higher education systems worldwide better integrate green chemistry into curriculum and practice.
