September summer school for green chemists
4 Września 2000 - 4 Września 2000
Turkmenistan
Environmentally inclined budding chemists will have an opportunity to learn the tools of the trade at the third post graduate summer school on green chemistry, organised by the inter-university consortium 'chemistry for the environment'.
The summer school, which runs from 4 to 10 September 2000 at the Venice International University, Italy, aims to provide graduate students and young researchers with the appropriate scientific and technological know-how to approach pollution prevention for environmental problems.
Green chemistry focuses on ways of reducing pollutants at source. The discipline therefore takes in all aspects and processes that reduce impact on human health and on the environment. The summer school will be divided into basic themes (atom economy, industrial processes, alternative solvents, new feedstocks and products, new reactions and new synthetic methods) and special topics selected according to the availability of teachers.
The number of participants will be limited to 60 post-graduate students and post-doctoral researchers from EU countries, plus 5 from Eastern European countries. Funding for participants will be provided by the European Commission's TMR programme for training and mobility of researchers.
The school will also give particular attention to the description of existing industrial processes, on case histories and examples of clean organic processes. In addition, topics related to current research in green chemistry will be addressed, aiming to familiarise students with the strategies behind the planning and design of efficient and 'greener' synthetic routes.
