GreenCentre accepts green chemistry technology disclosures from university researchers across Canada. If a technology that has been disclosed to GreenCentre has strong commercialization potential but requires further basic research or testing, we will award the researchers and their institution a Proof of Principle funding grant.
To date, GreenCentre has awarded more than $350, 000 in Proof of Principle funding to 14 researchers at 13 universities across Canada.
