Green Chemistry is one of the key sciences of a sustainable development on earth and required for reaching the 17 UN-Goals: IUPAC and ICGCSD are fully aware of their responsibility in working in the direction of Sustainable Development through Green Chemistry.

The School will be hosted in the magnificent Palazzo Ducale, the Doge's Palace, in St. Mark's Square, and about 70 post-graduate students/young researchers and 20 teachers coming from all over the world are expected to attend. Scholarships will be offered to young talented chemists especially from developing countries.

The choice of Venice, this extraordinary but delicate architectural masterpiece between land and sea, as Host city for the Summer School has offered the opportunity to highlight the emerging connection of Green Chemistry with cultural heritage restoration and conservation field.  

Main topics will be:

• Chemistry beyond chlorine
• New reaction pathways
• Exploitation of renewable resources
• For the first time: Green Chemistry for cultural heritage restoration

Applications are now open for postgraduate students and young researchers!

You can find more information about the School at the following website link: http://www.unive.it/greenss2018 and please find attached our POSTER.

We would be glad if you could circulate this information among students, colleagues and other academic authorities.
