The International Symposium on Green Chemistry – ISGC 2025 was held in La Rochelle, France from May 12-16, 2025. Green Chemistry and RSC Sustainability were delighted to provide poster prize awards at the event and we would like to congratulate our winners!
Learn more about the awardees below:
 Angelo Scopano is currently a Ph.D. student working with Paolo P. Pescarmona at the University of Groningen (RUG), the Netherlands, and Arjan W. Kleij at the Catalan Institute of Chemical Research (ICIQ), Spain. His position is part of the European doctoral network D-Carbonize funded by the European Union. His passion is carbon dioxide utilisation to obtain valuable chemicals. His research focuses on the development of more sustainable chemical processes including one-pot systems and greener carbonation reactions. The work presented in the poster is about the synthesis of cyclic carbonate through the one-pot oxidative carboxylation of alkenes using carbon dioxide. Angelo got his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees at University of Padova, Italy, under the guidance of Fabrizio Mancin and Luca Dell’Amico, respectively. During his studies he spent 6 months at KU Leuven, Belgium. Before starting his current position, he worked as a regulatory affairs intern for a multinational company and as educational project manager for Silvia Gross at the University of Padova. |
 Mattia Annatelli obtained both his Master’s degree in Chemistry and Sustainable Technologies (2019) and his PhD in Environmental Sciences (2024) from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. His research focuses on the synthesis of bio-based compounds from renewable raw materials, with particular attention to the development of sustainable chemical processes aimed at reducing the reliance on fossil resources. During his PhD, he worked on the design of innovative synthetic pathways for the production of bio-based platform chemicals. As part of his doctoral training, he spent a research period at Jaume I University (Spain), where he acquired foundational knowledge in continuous flow chemistry, further broadening his scientific expertise. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, where he is involved in the valorization of crotonic acid and the synthesis of cyclic organic carbonates. |
Carlos Mur was born on October 20, 2000, in Zaragoza, Spain. Carlos studied Chemistry at the University of Zaragoza from 2018 to 2022. During the 2022–2023 academic year and completed a Master’s degree in Molecular Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis, also at the University of Zaragoza. Since 2024, Carlos have been pursuing a PhD in the CHESO research group at the same institution, focusing on the development of catalytic systems based on glycerol derivatives |
