More Information, Contact: see Website
Official Information:
We look forward to meeting again in Dresden for a high-level and inspiring programme which will explore inter- and transdisciplinary aspects of green and sustainable chemistry.
Topics
1. Energy Conversion and Storage
This session includes greener and more sustainable solutions in the field of
energy conversion and storage such as e.g. renewable energy conversion,
renewable energy storage, hydrogen economy and many others if the links to green
and sustainable chemistry are demonstrated.
2. CO2 Utilisation
Work related to e.g. CO2 capturing, storage and use in chemical
synthesis and industrial processes, Power to X, technologies, reducing CO2
emissions on a green and sustainable manner can be presented here together with
other topics where if the links between CO2 utilisation and green and
sustainable chemistry are demonstrated.
3. Sustainable Chemistry and Environmental Science
This broad session allows presentation of diverse topics related to
environmental science and sustainable chemistry. Submissions describing
end-of-pipe treatment such e.g. wastewater treatment or quality of e.g. soil,
water, air, environmental damages etc. will NOT be accepted. Instead,
submissions addressing /demonstrating for example strategies for sustainability
- towards a toxic free environment, a strategic approach to pharmaceuticals in
the environment, input reduction of pollutants or design for environmental
degradation (benign by design, mineralisation) are especially welcome.
4. Sustainable Chemistry in Education
In this session examples of how sustainable chemistry is implemented in
education at different levels can be presented.
5. Sustainable Chemistry in Society
This session addresses examples of sustainable chemistry in society other than
education e.g. economics, policy and legislation or social aspects.
6. Sustainable Chemistry and Alternative Business Models
This session focuses on alternative business models contributing to sustainable
chemistry.
7. Sustainable Chemistry and Circular Economy
The aim of this session is to demonstrate the links between sustainable
chemistry and circular economy. Topics such as e.g. design for circularity,
products design for repair, reuse, refurbishment and recycling, circular use of
resources (including secondary raw materials), managing substance, materials and
products flows on sustainable manner are especially welcome.
8. Sustainability Assessment
In this session well known assessment tools such as e.g. Life Cycle Assessment
or Materials Flow Analysis of greener or more sustainable processes can be
presented along with new tools for sustainability assessment.
9. Recent Developments in Greener Synthesis and Catalysis
In this session, the latest developments in the field of green synthesis and
catalysis can be presented.
10. Sustainability of Elements with Focus on Metals
Strategies of substitution of toxic elements, despising less complexed
materials, strategies for critical elements can be presented in this session
among other examples of sustainable use elements with focus of metals.
11. Photochemistry and Photocatalysis
This session is dedicated to use of photochemistry and photocatalysis in
processes and technologies contributing to sustainability. Submissions
addressing end-of-pipe solutions e.g. wastewater treatment are not considered to
be suitable for this session.
12. Green Analytical Chemistry
A session dedicated to greener solutions in the field of analytical chemistry
focused on green analytical methods.
13. Sustainable Chemistry in South-east Asia
South-east Asia is one of the most populated and also booming regions in green
and sustainable chemistry. The session will allow to showcase ongoing research
from this region.
14. Green and Sustainable Pharmacy
Pharmacy is indispensable for our health and well-being. As in chemistry there
are multiple opportunities to increase greenness and sustainability.
15. Chemistry and Hydrogen Economy
Hydrogen is essential in the development of a low-carbon economy. Research
related to hydrogen generation and storage is welcome for this session.
16. Chemistry and Climate Change
This session will cover the issues affecting climate and the environment and the
pivotal role that sustainable chemistry has to play in solving them.
