Chemistry: Achieving Net Zero Through Research, Innovation, Translation & Skills

9 August 2021 13:00-14:30


Introduction
ScotCHEM is partnering with Energy Technology Partnership (ETP) and Research Innovation Scotland (RIS) to present a webinar exploring the ways in which chemistry and chemistry research are essential if we are to achieve net zero.
 
Scotland’s chemical sciences research base is founded on a long and successful history of innovation and collaboration and now, more than ever, our researchers, educators and industry are stepping up to provide critical input for a successful and Just Transition – both locally and globally.
 
The webinar is part of the ETP Energy Innovation Emporium 2021 series, being presented in the leadup to COP 26.
 
The ScotCHEM event will showcase some examples of leading research, collaboration, internationalisation and skills development that are contributing to the Net Zero drive.
 
Our webinar will also include a panel discussion led by Pennie Latin (documentary maker, presenter & blogger) in conversation with key thought leaders from Scotland’s research, industry, policy and education sectors:
  • Dr Mark Bustard; CEO, IBioIC 
  • Jennifer Tempany; Director of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development, Forth Valley College 
  • Ian Hill; Strategic Lead for Innovation, University of St Andrews 
  • Prof John Liggat; Professor of Polymer Science & Technology, University of Strathclyde
