"We will come to understand the importance of having artists and designers at the same level as systems engineers and that’s actually a new fact and it’s really, really important.  It’s the defining point of how technology will move forward.” Watch the video of the event.

CSTPP partner, the Center for Sustainable Polymers (CSP) was given a boost as the University of Minnesota was awarded a $1.5 million grant over three years from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Centers for Chemical Innovation program for research on environment-friendly plastics.At a conference, hosted by CSTPP, on Green Chemistry one of our speakers was Marc Hillmyer. At the time he had just received seed funding from the Institute on the Environment to start the Center for Sustainable Polymers.. Since then our center has engaged with them to reach out to policy makers and the general public. CSP has also gathered affiliated companies and faculty members. This type of interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration has given CSP a strong base to launch into further research and collaboration.
