International Conference on Green Chemistry

The International IUPAC Conferences on Green Chemistry (ICGCs) gather several hundreds scientists, technologists, and experts from all over the world with the aim to exchange and disseminate new ideas, discoveries, and projects on green chemistry and a sustainable development. After mid twentieth century, an increasingly general consensus acknowledges that these subjects play a unique role in mapping the way ahead for the humankind progress.^[1] Typical topics discussed in these IUPAC Conferences are:

bio-based renewable chemical resources, bio-inspired materials and nanomaterials, bio-based polymers;
polymer composites and natural surfactants;^[2]
green solvents, catalysts, and synthetic methodologies (e.g., microwaves, ultrasounds, solid state synthesis), biocatalysis and biotransformations;
biofuels and chemistry for improved energy harvesting;
materials for sustainable construction and cultural heritage;
pollution prevention;
metrics, evaluation, education, and communication of green chemistry.
