Dear colleagues,
The call for abstract to the International Symposium on Green Chemistry - ISGC 2017 / May 16^th to May 19^th La Rochelle, FRANCE - is open until October 31^st 2016.
ISGC 2017 will welcome 280 oral and flash communications. The most innovative and recent works will be selected for publication in a themed issue of the Green Chemistry journal.

ISGC is one of the worldwide leading events in the field of green chemistry and gathers more than 800 attendees either from academia or industry. Organized around multi-parallel sessions, ISGC 2017 will cover a broad range of topics such as renewable carbon, smart use of fossil, eco-efficient processes, alternative solvents, polymers, catalysis, biotechnologies, mechanism investigations, non-thermal technologies and environmental impact of chemicals/processes ... 

9 plenary lectures : Prof. Roger Sheldon, Prof. Peter Wasserscheid, Prof Ye Wang, Prof. John Hartwig, Prof. Richard Alan Gross, Dr. François Monnet, Prof. Olivier Kappe, Prof. Chris Hardacre, Prof. Thibault Cantat.
13 keynotes : Firmeniche, ACD Pharma, Dupont, BASF, MANE, ...

New in 2017: ISGC-2017 has been thought as a cross-disciplinary platform and should offer to public and private scientists an ideal platform for sharing fundamental knowledge with industrial research and development stakeholders. In this context, ISGC creates the " Green Chemistry Challenge " : 1-to-1 meetings, exhibition area, innovation sessions and mentorship opportunities.

We look forward seeing you at this occasion in this beautiful part of France.

With best regards
