Sustainable Chemistry and Education (2024)

Call for Papers

LUMAT invites researchers, practitioners, and educators to contribute to the upcoming special issue on "Sustainable Chemistry and Education".

Description

Chemistry is the key science needed in solving all sustainability issues. Therefore, promoting sustainability (e.g., sustainable development knowledge, skills, competences and culture) should have an integral role in chemistry education. We invite all scholars to contribute in the scientific discussion on how sustainability can be supported through research-based sustainable chemistry education in all educational levels.

Deadlines and special issue timetable:

  • Submission due date: The DL is extended to January 7, 2024.
  • Continuous publication model.
