Welcome to the July edition of the EuChemS’ newsletter Brussels News Updates. On 18 and 19 June, the EuChemS Executive Board met in the picturesque town of Bern, Switzerland. Between brown bear spotting and rösti indulging, the Board discussed many important topics – from activities for the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT2019) to the upcoming online course on ethics and chemistry, from the new EuChemS logo to be unveiled at the 7th EuChemS Chemistry Congress to our recent policy activities. EuChemS also attended this year’s European Science Open Forum (ESOF) in Toulouse where science, policy and communications were at the forefront of discussions. Scroll down to catch up with the latest developments in chemistry in Europe and our activities! Read the full newsletter [1] online here. [capture] EUCHEMS AT ESOF EuChemS headed to Toulouse for this year’s EuroScience Open Forum [2] event from 9 – 14 July where we were also selected to present a poster [3]. A jam-packed programme was waiting for us there, with highly relevant and thought-provoking sessions on science and policy, knowledge management, open science, the role of infrastructures, science communication, and a whole lot more! Click here for our top 10 takeaways [4]! COMMUNICATING UNCERTAINTY - EUROPEAN FOOD SAFETY AGENCY DRAFT GUIDANCE DOCUMENT EuChemS responded to the public consultation on the European Food Safety Agency’s (EFSA) draft ‘Guidance on Communication of Uncertainty in Scientific Assessments’. The document is intended to provide guidance tools on how to best communicate ‘uncertainty’ from uncertainty analyses in scientific assessments. Read our feedback here [5]. [iyy] [6] INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE PERIODIC TABLE 2019 - EARLY PREPARATIONS 2019 will be celebrated as the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT2019), as announced by the United Nations, and EuChemS, one of 5 supporters of the IUPAC lead initiative, will be at the forefront in promoting this significant moment. Through activities, events, worldwide initiatives and more, we hope to see celebrations play an important role in promoting chemistry and science globally. We now have a dedicated website section [7] for the IYPT2019 where you can find all the information you need, our activities, events organised by our Member Societies and Professional Networks, and also on how to get involved!

OPEN EDUCATION FOR A BETTER WORLD - UNESCO EVENT The UNESCO Chair on Open Technologies for Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Learning and the University of Nova Gorica, hosted the first 14 candidates, of which EuChemS General Secretary Nineta Hrastelj, who were selected last year from all over the world, to be guided towards the implementation of their online courses, together with their mentors and invited speakers. Read the full summary of the event here [9]. [awardforsevrice-2] EUCHEMS AWARD FOR SERVICE 2018 We are very proud to announce that Professors Francesco De Angelis, Sergio Facchetti, and Reiner Salzer have been awarded the EuChemS Award for Service 2018 [10] for their outstanding passion, hard work, and commitment to furthering Chemistry and EuChemS’ aims. The upcoming Chemistry in Europe newsletter will feature some short questions we asked each of these extraordinary professors. You can sign up to the newsletter here [11]! [eusus] EU SUSTAINABLE ENERGY WEEK (EUSEW): ENERGY, POLICY, AND STORYTELLING EuChemS attended this year’s EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW), themed ‘Leading the clean energy transition’. The week-long series of conferences and workshops provided a crucial insight into the present state of affairs of the clean energy transition. From innovative batteries to the latest solar-energy developments, we were pleased to see the enthusiasm and commitment being expressed. Read our full debrief here [12]!
