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 POSTGRADUATE SUMMER SCHOOL ONLINE will be held online from 6th to 10th July 2020.  Green Chemistry is pleased to be providing support for this event.

The School is open to postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers from all over the world. It will consist of 5 lecture days. The official schedule will be established taking into consideration the different time zones of the participants’ countries of origin. The Summer School is organized by the Green Sciences for Sustainable Development (www.gssd-foundation.org), a no-profit Foundation based in Venice.

Summer School main topics are:

Exploitation of renewable resources
New reaction pathways
Energy saving
Food safety
Green Chemistry for cultural heritage
Climate Change damages mitigation

Applications will be open until June 1st (with extension to June 30th). In order to deliver the best possible service to teachers and students, we are taking in consideration the different time zones of their Countries of origin; therefore, we are going to establish 3 hot spots to deliver the lectures: Venezia, Beijing and Washington DC.
