In a challenged and increasingly complex world, chemistry plays a key role to promote sustainable development, especially focusing on resources, chemicals, materials, products, their flows, processes, and end of live issues. Such knowledge will be indispensable for the transition to a sustainable future including the necessary transformation of the related industrial sector itself. Professionals with disciplinary, inter-, and transdisciplinary background related to both chemistry and sustainability at the same time are urgently needed and thus have a wide range of career options open to them – in research, in institutions and non-governmental organizations, politics, public authorities and businesses - even beyond chemical industries, and in related fields.
