The bp Chair in Industrial Environment of the Universitat Jaume I and the teaching innovation project to promote university-society interaction OFITEC have held the seminar "The role of engineers in the management of chemical products", with the participation of Rocío Granel, a chemical engineer from the UJI who is currently developing her career at AstraZeneca.

The chemical sector is the fourth largest in Europe, with more than 30,000 companies and nearly 1.2 million jobs. In this sense, chemical substances play an important role in the EU economy and competitiveness and, therefore, their management has become essential to protect human health and the environment. Thus, during the seminar, the key role of chemical engineers in responding to the proper management of chemicals and associated risks, in particular through the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), was presented.

In addition, the event also introduced the recent European Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, which aims to reduce the use of toxic substances with more sustainable alternatives, ensuring the protection of the environment and human health.

The seminar, which was attended by around 30 people, was part of the subject EQ1037 - Industrial Safety and Hygiene of the Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering.

**Job opportunities in the chemical sector**

Rocío Granel, taking into account her professional career in different companies and organisations both in Spain, including the Institute of Ceramic Technology, and in the United Kingdom, where she currently holds the position of safety data sheet specialist at AstraZeneca, highlighted the job opportunities offered by the chemical sector for graduates, especially in Europe and the United Kingdom, due to the growing need to manage chemical products in a safe and organised way.

Furthermore, in a context where products are distributed globally, she also pointed out that it is essential to know the rules and regulations established in the different regions. As an example, the special case between the United Kingdom and the European Union after Brexit was discussed.

**About the bp Chair in Industrial Environment**

The Chair arose from the interest of bp Spain and the Universitat Jaume I in providing mechanisms to facilitate research and dissemination in the field of the industrial environment, as well as bringing the world of education closer to the reality of industry.

In its commitment to the environment, the bp Chair aims to contribute to well-being with actions aimed at disseminating knowledge and fostering environmental awareness.
