GSSD

Organization of In-person/Virtual (on site and online) Postgraduate Summer School has just started!

The School consists of 5 lecture days. The aim of the School is to disseminate good, advanced and basic chemical sciences and scientific know-how for students’ future professional careers. Please visit the webpage about the programme of the previous 2020 edition to which the 2021 event will be inspired to.

Motto: Sustainable Development through Green Chemistry

Chairman’s message:

Dear Colleagues,

With a great pleasure I would like to welcome you to the next 13^th Postgraduate Summer School on Green Chemistry 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). In addition, we will do our best to hold the 2021 edition on live as well.

You may already know about previous 12 successful editions of the Summer School, in particular the one took place in Palazzo Ducale in St. Mark’s Square in Venice.

Main topics will be:

Benign synthesis routes
Green catalysis
Alternative solvents
Renewable and green raw materials
Green chemistry for energy
Clean processes
Green Chemistry education

We would like to tune this Summer School to the successful outcomes of the previous editions by inviting:

• outstanding teachers
• major chemical industries
• top level students

Thanks to the generous participations of our sponsors, outstanding postgraduate students from developing countries will be awarded with a scholarship of 65 Euro (each) to attend the Summer School virtually.       

Further information and Programme will be announced soon.

In this Summer School, postgraduate students will also have an immense opportunity to demonstrate their research works during either Virtual and on-person Poster Session of the Summer School. The best posters will be selected and awarded by our sponsors during an award ceremony.

All participants will receive a certificate of attendance.

The Summer School will provide the best possible platform for postgraduate students from different countries to interact with well-known scientists/educators in the field of Green Chemistry, to exchange ideas with their peers, to create a research network, and to develop a friendship with attendants at an international level. We will do our best to ensure that these links and connections will be permanent, and you will be able to meet in person as soon as the COVID-19 pandemic will be over!

I invite all participants to actively participate with their suggestions and ideas during the Summer School with the hope that closer connections are established also for the future.

We look forward to seeing you all online or in-person.

General information

The Summer School on Green Chemistry will be held  from 4th to 10th July 2021.
The official language of the Conference is English.
The School consists of 5 lecture days. The aim of the School is to disseminate good, advanced and basic chemical sciences and scientific know-how for students’ future professional careers. Please visit the webpage about the programme of the previous 2020 edition to which the 2021 event will be inspired to.

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.

After the end of the Green Chemistry Postgraduate Summer School 2020, the Green
Sciences for Sustainable Development Foundation asked students to give their
feedback on the School. Some replies is here: https://www.gssd-foundation.org/summerschool/Students’%20feedback.pdf
