Hello and welcome to EuChemS - Brussels News Updates!

Welcome to this special issue of Brussels News Updates, dedicated to the upcoming 7th EuChemS Chemistry Congress 2018 that will be taking place this August in Liverpool, UK!

With just under two weeks left to go, we will explore some of the highlights that can be expected from this much anticipated event…  First of all, expect an outstanding line-up of speakers from across Europe that will be exploring a multitude of issues and developments impacting the chemical sciences. You can also look forward to several significant milestones in our history: the launch of our new name, acronym and logo; as well as the first European Gold Medal Award and the first EuChemS Historical Landmarks Awards. We will also be celebrating the years of dedication and passion of three outstanding people with our EuChemS Award for Service 2018.

Take a look below to find out more about the Congress, where you can find us there, and some of the exciting highlights to be witnessed!

Horizon Europe developments

As part of our mission in bringing chemistry closer to the heart of policymaking in Europe, we have updated our Position Paper on what we want out of the next research Framework Programme, Horizon Europe, which will follow the current Horizon 2020. Through a simple info-sheet, we have laid out the areas where we believe greater funding will have an immense impact, and where proposals have been deemed insufficient or misdirected.

Some words from EuChemS President Pilar Goya and Vice-President David Cole Hamilton

With the Congress already shaping up to be the European Chemistry event of the year not to miss, EuChemS President, Professor Pilar Goya delves into what the Congress encompasses, how it brings together scientists from across Europe and beyond, and how it embraces an increasingly interdisciplinary agenda. Read the Editorial online now from the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh) – the German Chemical Society’s Angewandte Chemie journal.

EuChemS Past President, and current Vice-President Professor David Cole-Hamilton demonstrates through a thorough and highly informative essay what EuChemS is, how it works, why it does what it does, and what it means for science and policy. You can read Cole-Hamilton’s essay here in Chemistry, a European Journal (ChemPubSoc), which will be open access until September 2018.
