Green Chemistry Interuniversity Postgraduate Program [web site]

The Green Chemistry Spanish Network has a regular educational activity in the form of the Doctorate and Master Green Chemistry Postgraduate Interuniversity Programs. Both programs have achieved the Quality Qualification by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science. The first is already in its fifth edition and a number of its students have already concluded their PhD thesis. The Master Program is currently in its second edition. Although most students are Spanish, some have come from USA, South America and Morocco
