Good Chemistry – Do Chemists Need Ethics?

Save the date! 

On Thursday 7 October 2021, the European Chemical Society (EuChemS) will hold the webinar “Good Chemistry – Do Chemists Need Ethics?” from 10:00 to 11:30 CEST. Dr. Jan Mehlich, recipient of the 2020 EuChemS Award for Service and member of the EuChemS Working Party on Ethics in Chemistry, will give a talk and answer the attendees questions during a Q&A session.  

During this webinar, attendees will be invited to reflect on the role of ethics in the chemical sciences by being guided through cases and scenarios that illustrate how chemists who embrace their social responsibilities by practicing ethics skills contribute to more sustainable techno-scientific progress and innovation.

Please note that online registration for this event is mandatory. 

As a reminder, the 2020 EuChemS Award for Service will be presented to Dr. Jan Mehlich at the 8th EuChemS Chemistry Congress 2022 in Lisbon (Portugal) in recognition of his outstanding commitment and hard work in fostering chemistry in Europe, along with the activities and goals of EuChemS. 

Dr. Jan Mehlich has developed an on-line course, Good Chemistry-Methodological, Ethical, and Social Implications, worth 2 ECTS Credits and now available on the EuChemS Moodle platform. This on-line course contains 16 sessions of video lectures, case discussions, reading assignments, and quizzes. Registration is free and a certificate is delivered for each student who completed a module. 

For more information about this webinar and the on-line course, please contact EuChemS Secretariat.

2019 EuChemS Lecture Awardee – Webinar

The European Chemical Society, EuChemS, is organising the 2019 EuChemS Lecture Awardee Webinar. The online event will be held on Wednesday 23 June, from 15:00 to 16:30 CEST. During this event, David Portehault, EuChemS 2019 Lecturer, will give a talk on “From water to molten salts: geoinspired syntheses and reactivity of nanomaterials“.

In his EuChemS Lecture, David Portehault will present the recent efforts of the group in taking inspiration from nature, more specifically from geological events, to synthesize original nanomaterials. David will present geo-inspired synthesis conditions, from low temperature chimie douce in water, to liquid-phase synthesis in inorganic molten salts and to high pressures. He will show several cases of inorganic nanomaterials encompassing complex oxides and non-oxides like boron-, nitrogen- and silicon-based solids, discuss their formation pathways and show the unique electrochromic and electrocatalytic properties at stake with these nanoparticle-based materials.
