Modern society faces the great challenge of ensuring that a constantly growing population is supplied with energy, food, medicines and everyday necessities in equal measure without continuing to excessively pollute the environment.
At the same time, the emission of greenhouse gases must be reduced in order to curb climate change. The development of new chemical substances and methods can make a major contribution to solving all these complex problems. For this, however, it is essential to follow the principles of green chemistry and at the same time to consider the more comprehensive consequences of the change when applying them in order to generate innovations in the sense of sustainable development.
Students are used to working in multicultural and diverse teams due to the English-language education and cooperation with international fellow students. They are able and willing to undergo continuous professional development and to assume managerial responsibility. Based on the inherent culture of cooperation between the three universities involved, they are used to working across disciplines and institutions.
