13th Postgraduate Summer School on Green Chemistry 2021

Green Chemistry Summer School: Venice, 4th-10th July 2021

This 2021 Edition of the Summer School follows the previous one held online as a result of COVID-19 pandemic (www.unive.it/ssgc).

The Summer School does offer the unique opportunity to bring together a number of experts in the field of Green Chemistry and young researchers. This synergy of competencies is a valuable occasion to promote and facilitate diffusion and transfer of the knowledge in this emerging and evolving field.

AIMS

  • Teach postgraduate students and post-doctoral researchers in chemistry and associated disciplines from all over the world, either from academia or industry.
  • Indicate Green Chemistry as fundamental tool to approach pollutant reduction at source.
  • Give a view of the state-of-the-art on Green Chemistry researches in the last decades.
  • Facilitate a profitable and continuous exchange of ideas and information among the students, the instructors and the different stakeholders for the establishment of long-lasting scientific relationships. All these students will be ambassadors of Green Chemistry in their institutions, in their Countries, and to their peers, and so invited to form international networks of scientists.

The Summer School is organized and managed by the Green Sciences for Sustainable Development Foundation (www.gssd-foundation.org), a non-profit Foundation based in Venice, Italy. The Foundation’s website provides access to various lectures, proceedings, and reports of the previous editions of the Summer Schools.

Green Chemistry Editor’s Choice: Francois Jérôme Selects Outstanding Articles. Read now for free

Editorial Board Member, Francois Jérôme has selected some outstanding research to share with you from Green Chemistry. Read them now for free until the end of April 2021!

François Jerome received his PhD degree in chemistry from the University of Burgundy in 2000 in the group of Prof. R. Guilard. Then, he moved as a postdoc to the University of California, Davis in the group of Prof. K. M. Smith followed by a second postdoctoral position at the University of Rennes 1 under the guidance of Prof. P. H. Dixneuf, where he worked on ruthenium-catalyzed reactions. In 2002, he joined the CNRS as a permanent researcher in the Laboratoire de Catalyse en Chimie Organique located at the University of Poitiers. In 2011, he was promoted as a CNRS research director at the Institut de Chimie des Milieux et Matériaux de Poitiers. In 2015, he created the research federation INCREASE, hosted by the CNRS, gathering scientists from academia working together with chemical companies on the design of sustainable chemicals. He is now deputy of the Institut de Chimie des Milieux et Matériaux de Poitiers, member of the executive committee of the French division of Catalysis and chairman of the International Symposium on Green Chemistry (ISGC); editions 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019. His main research interests concern the development of technologies capable of activating and converting concentrated feed of renewable polyols (glycerol, mono- and polysaccharides) to specialty chemicals.
