We are looking for applicants with a strong background in chemistry who want to become experts in chemistry of circular economy. The programme Chemistry and Analytics for Circular Economy offered by the University of Jyväskylä provides you with solid theoretical background on chemistry related to recovery, reuse, and upcycling of valuable raw materials as well as hands-on experience in organic and inorganic analytics.
