UNIBO GOES TO FUELING TOMORROW
On the 9th of September a representation of CaRe In Process group (Prof. Francesco Basile, Prof. Patricia Benito, Dott. Andrea Fasolini and PhDs Elisabetta Orfei, Fabrizio Lisi, Vittoria Saraceni, Ilenia Giarnieri) partecipated at 'Fueling tomorrow'. The event was organized by Prof. Francesco Basile and focused on novel national strategies for green hydrogen production in both industrial and academic research.

UNIBO WINS GRASSELLI AWARD
During the 28th National Congress of Italian Chemistry Society, held in Milan last August, our RTD-A Andrea Fasolini was entitled of the Robert Karl Grasselli memorial award for the results obtained in the field of heterogeneous catalysis applied in continuous-flow, gas-phase processes, with the dissertation 'Ce and Zr based oxides as useful supports and materials for gas phase H2 production and utilization'.
The prize is sponsored by the 'Gruppo Interdivisionale di Catalisi' of the Italian Chemical Society (SCI).

UNIBO MEETS PAUL ANASTAS
Worldwide known as the 'father of Green Chemistry', Paul Anastas visited the University of Bologna 'Alma Mater Studiorum' for the aknowledgement of his honorary degree in Chemistry.
During his carrier Anastas has brought attention to research priorities for the development of green chemistry technologies. In collaboration with John C. Warner, the two scientists published a set of principles to guide the practice of green chemistry. The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry (1998) address a range of ways to lower the environmental and health impacts of chemical production and have significantly altered the landscape of the chemicals industry in the United States and other countries.
The visit of Paul Anastas consisted in three main events:
- April 9th: round table”Future Green Chemistry - achievements, challenges and perspectives“ (with the participation of Prof. Fabrizio Cavani from the Department of Industrial Chemistry).
- April 11th: “Pursuing Newtopia: the chemistry of a future worth striving for“ - meeting with chemistry students and researchers.
- April 12th: 'Laurea ad Honorem' award ceremony
