The Faculty of Chemistry and Biology at the University of Santiago de Chile has progressively incorporated Green Chemistry into its academic offerings. This initiative includes Green Chemistry as an elective course for teachers in training and integrates it into the core curriculum of the undergraduate degree in Chemistry. Additionally, the Bachelor’s degree program in Chemistry and Pharmacy at the Faculty offers a toxicology course as part of the curriculum.

In the medium term, there is an intention to offer an elective course on Green Chemistry for the Master’s and Doctoral programs in Chemistry at our Faculty. We have scheduled to provide a Green Chemistry course for Science Teachers from all over Chile. Additionally, we have planned to create an international course next year involving Chile, Colombia, and Argentina, using the Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) strategy. In the long term, we want to integrate green chemistry throughout lectures and labs.
