The Greener Partnership Program was formally established in 2020, with the aim of fostering a culture of collaboration among industry, non-profit, government and UC Berkeley academics. The program places graduate and upper level undergraduate students in professional working environments with off-campus hosts, typically as an extension of the Greener Solutions course experience. The program is an opportunity for individual students to pursue deeper investigations of safer alternatives to chemicals of concern identified in the course or expand the impact of some of the course findings, and provides technical support to organizations seeking to solve green chemistry challenges.
Greener Partnerships is funded by the Nancy P. and Richard K. Robbins Family Foundation and the U.S. EPA Pollution Prevention (P2) Grant program.
