2nd
Postgraduate Summer School on Green Chemistry
6-12 September 1999
San Servolo (Venice), Italy
This seven-day training course is organized under the
auspices of the Italian Interuniversity Consortium "Chemistry for Environment"
within the framework of the "Training and Mobility of Research" (TMR)
program of the European Commission. Its purpose is to provide graduate
students and young researchers with appropriate scientific and technological
know-how to help prevent pollution and reduce environmental contamination.
Sessions will focus on industrial processes, alternative
solvents, new feedstocks and products, new reactions, new synthetic
methods, and selected special topics. Case histories will be used to
demonstrate examples of clean organic processes and strategies behind
planning and designing efficient "greener" synthetic routes.
Attendance is limited to 60 postgraduate students and
postdoctoral researchers under 35 years of age from European Union countries,
Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and Asia.
