Dear Colleagues,
We have the pleasure to invite you to the 9th IUPAC International Conference on Green Chemistry (9th ICGC), that will take place in Athens, Greece, on 5-9 September 2022, offering the choice of on-line participation.
The 9th IUPAC International Conference on Green Chemistry is organized by the Association of Greek Chemists (AGC) in collaboration with the IUPAC Interdivisional Committee on Green Chemistry for Sustainable Development (ICGCSD).
The 9th ICGC will cover the following general areas:
• Green Chemistry in Academia, Research and Industry
• Green Chemistry in Education and Society
• Green Chemistry in Sustainable Development, Bioeconomy and Circular Economy
A broad range of specific topics will be discussed (https://greeniupac2022.org/topics/), such as the valorization of biomass and food waste for the production of fuels, chemicals and materials, the use of non-toxic solvents and the sustainable organic synthesis, the development of low/no waste industrial chemical processes, the use of bio- and degradable plastics and the increase of societal and political awareness towards green chemistry practices. The contribution of Green Chemistry to the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations will also be highlighted.
The conference programme will comprise of Plenary, Keynote, Oral and Poster presentations, and will include special workshops, presentation of awards and prizes, and attractive social events.
The highlights of the conference will be communicated by IUPAC via its news magazineChemistry International, and selected contributions will be published in a Special Issue of IUPAC’s official journal,Pure and Applied Chemistry. Special Issues inhigh impact journals in the field of Green and Sustainable Chemistrywill also be produced, following the standard peer-review procedures.
The deadline for abstract submission is 31 March 2022 (https://greeniupac2022.org/abstract-paper-submission/).
More information and instructions are available at: https://greeniupac2022.org/
