Research training green chemistry

MEGREC constitutes a platform for the development of research and training in green chemistry in the countries of the Mediterranean basin, with focus on water management, the exploitation of local natural resources, the production and use of fertilizers, and monitoring and reducing the presence of toxic compounds in the food chain. With a clear focus on priorities for local areas, but with the extended know-how of all the partners. 

Curriculum development at the K-12 level goes hand-and-hand with teacher training. The development of green chemistry curriculum materials must involve collaboration between the green chemistry researchers and the K-12 teacher. Several approaches have been found to be effective in developing curriculum, which can be applied in the K-12 classroom.
