Abstract

Participants in the American Chemical Society-Petroleum Research Fund (ACS-PRF) Summer School on Green Chemistry discuss the topics covered and lessons learned during the week-long summer school held July 31 through August 7, 2004, at Carnegie Mellon University. An outline of the program is accompanied by a discussion of the challenges and needs of the field of green chemistry as seen by the participants. These include further education of the public as well as members of the scientific community, thorough research and rigorous publication standards, and the formation of a cooperative and collaborative group of researchers.
