Chairman’s message

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the XVII International Postgraduate Summer School on Green Chemistry (GCSS 2025).

Following the remarkable success of last year’s edition, we are proud to continue this prestigious tradition of fostering international collaboration and advancing education in Green Chemistry. The dedication and enthusiasm of participants, lecturers, and sponsors have truly cemented this event as a cornerstone for sustainable development in the scientific community.

In this view, together with the board of the Green Science for Sustainable Development Foundation, we are committed to building upon the achievements of previous editions and furthering the legacy of this highly appreciated international summer school.

The GCSS 2025 will encompass the following main topics:

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

We aim to align this Summer School with the successful outcomes of past editions by inviting:

Outstanding teachers
Major chemical industries
Top-level students

Thanks to the generous participation of our sponsors, selected outstanding postgraduate students from developing countries will be awarded scholarships to attend the Summer School virtually. The scholarship will include a fee waiver either for on-site or online participation.

In this Summer School, postgraduate students will also have the opportunity to present their research during either the virtual or in-person Poster Sessions of the Summer School. The best three posters will be selected and awarded by our sponsors during an award ceremony.

The Summer School will provide an excellent platform for postgraduate students from different countries to interact with well-known scientists and educators in the field of Green Chemistry, to exchange ideas with their peers, to create research networks, and to develop friendships at an international level.

I invite all students 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 in Venice.

Prof. Francesco Trotta
Chairman, President of the Green Sciences for Sustainable Development Foundation

PROGRAMME

Sustainable Development through Green Chemistry

“Green Chemistry might be seen as the field in Chemistry which directly responds to the appeal of humankind. Green Chemistry is a future-oriented approach to reconcile and foster the research in the chemical sciences with society and its needs. So, we necessitate as many as possible new and surprising proposals coming from pure and applied research, in order to have the possibility to select the best solution.”
