SINCHEM Erasmus Mundus PhD Program
1st SINCHEM Annual School
February, 17th - 19th , 2014.
University of Bologna
Dept. of Industrial Chemistry "Toso Montanari"
Viale Risorgimento, 4 – Bologna (I)
SINCHEM Consortium will hold the 1° SINCHEM School on Sustainable Industrial
Chemistry at Bologna University (Department of Industrial Chemistry “Toso
Montanari”). The school aims to give the participants an introduction to some
fundamental concepts on Sustainable Industrial Chemistry with a special focus on
catalytic processes.
The SINCHEM winter school is free of charge. Nevertheless the participants are
requested to register, sending an e-mail to sinchem@unibo.it indicating name,
affiliation and e-mail address.
