Green chemistry and engineering offer fundamental sustainable solutions to the global challenges facing this planet. Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. Green engineering is the development and commercialization of industrial processes that are economically feasible and reduce the risk to human health and the environment. Green chemistry and engineering are absolutely essential to the development of solutions to global challenges.The impact of green chemistry and engineering approaches on sustainable development are significant, since these design philosophies unite the pursuit of economic prosperity with environmental and public health protection.The annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference (www.GCandE.org) is organized each year by the American Chemical Society (ACS) Green Chemistry Institute® (ACS GCI) with the active involvement of an organizing committee comprised of scientists from other non-profit organizations, U.S. government agencies, academic institutions and industry. Dr. Jennifer Young serves as the PI for the ACS Green Chemistry Institute.The 15th Annual GC&E Conference in 2011 will tie together the International Year of Chemistry and the 5th International Conference on Green and Sustainable Chemistry. Students participating in the GC&E workshop and/or conference will have a unique opportunity to engage in topics not commonly encountered in traditional university courses and conferences. The meeting is expected to convene a record number of approximately 600 plus leading international researchers from industry, academe, and government to discuss the latest advances in green chemistry and engineering from across the spectrum of the chemical enterprise. This dynamic event provides students with excellent opportunities to learn about the newest research developments across all topics of GC&E, dialog with other academic, industrial, and governmental researchers, and expand their network of professional contacts.

绿色化学和工程为这个星球面临的全球挑战提供了根本的可持续解决方案。绿色化学是减少或消除有害物质的使用和产生的化学产品和工艺的设计。绿色工程是经济上可行的、减少对人类健康和环境的风险的工业过程的开发和商业化。绿色化学和工程对于开发应对全球挑战的解决方案是绝对必要的。绿色化学和工程方法对可持续发展的影响是巨大的，因为这些设计理念将追求经济繁荣与环境和公众健康保护结合在一起。一年一度的绿色化学和工程会议(www.GCandE.org)由美国化学学会(ACS)绿色化学研究所(ACS GCI)每年举办，一个由来自其他非营利组织、美国政府机构、学术机构和行业的科学家组成的组织委员会积极参与。Jennifer Young博士是美国化学学会绿色化学研究所的PI。2011年第15届GC&E年会将把国际化学年和第五届绿色和可持续化学国际会议联系在一起。参加GC&Amp；E研讨会和/或会议的学生将有一个独特的机会，参与传统大学课程和会议中不常见的主题。会议预计将召集创纪录的约600多名来自工业界、学术界和政府的领先国际研究人员，讨论整个化工企业在绿色化学和工程方面的最新进展。这一动态活动为学生提供了极好的机会，让他们了解GC&And；E所有主题的最新研究进展，与其他学术、工业和政府研究人员对话，并扩大他们的专业联系网络。
