Description
The Ciba Travel Awards in Green Chemistry support undergraduate and graduate students studying at U.S. institutions who have research or educational interests in green chemistry and/or engineering. Administered by the ACS Green Chemistry Institute, the awards enable students to attend the annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference and share their work through an oral or poster presentation, rather than funding research directly.
The program defines green chemistry as the discovery and design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. Award recipients are recognized at the conference. Support comes from interest income generated by the Ciba Green Chemistry Student Endowment, established in 2009.
