Abstract The International Postgraduate Summer School on Green Chemistry has grown into a cornerstone event for the global green chemistry community. Held annually in the historic city of Venice—an improbable masterpiece built on science, engineering, and vision—the program takes place in a city that exists because people dared to experiment, adapt, and solve problems that once seemed unsolvable. This same spirit makes Venice the perfect setting for a summer school devoted to reimagining green chemical solutions. Each year, it brings together graduate students, researchers, and industry experts to explore innovative approaches to green chemistry that prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Abstract The world is not likely to run out of magnesium anytime soon. As the eighth most abundant element on Earth, the metal makes up roughly 2% of the planet’s crust. It’s also the third most plentiful element in seawater, but unlike other metals, such as gold or copper, it only exists in nature in combination with other elements.
