After Dresden, Moscow, Ottawa, Foz do Iguaçu and Durban, the International IUPAC Conference on Green Chemistry will move to Venice, Italy.
To be held in the wonderful, historic city of Venice, the conference will deliver an excellent scientific programme structured into five broad themes:
• Green Materials: Innovative materials for sustainable construction and cultural heritage / Nanomaterials / Polymers and polymer composites
• Green Bioprocesses: Biocatalysis and biotransformation / Biofuels / Bio-based renewable, chemical feedstocks / Bio-based materials
• Green Energy: Energy storage to facilitate uptake of renewable energy sources / Chemistry for improved energy harvesting / Nuclear power / Pollution Prevention
• Green industrial processes and Molecular innovation: Energy storage to facilitate uptake of renewable energy sources / Chemistry for improved energy harvesting / Nuclear power / Pollution Prevention
• Green Policy, Sustainability and Safety: Energy storage to facilitate uptake of renewable energy sources / Chemistry for improved energy harvesting / Nuclear power / Pollution Prevention
Confirmed plenary speakers include:
• Professor Isabel Arends, Netherlands – Enzymes as catalysts in a Bio-based Economy
• Professor Fernando Galembeck, Brazil – Synergy in Bioenergy, Food and Materials from Biomass
• Professor Chao-Jun Li, Canada – Exploration of New Reactivities for a Sustainable Future
• Professor Bruno Scrosati, Italy – Next Generation Li Batteries for Renewable Energy Sources and Sustainable Road Vehicles
• Professor Takashi Tatsumi, Japan – Advanced Zeolite Catalysts for Sustainable Production of Chemicals
Grants and Awards:
• Grants available for young scientists from developing countries.
• Three Poster Prizes will be assigned during the conference. The winner will be asked to present a scientific paper to be published in the dedicated Issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry
• CHEMRAWN VII Prize for Atmospheric and Green Chemistry will be conferred during the conference
