In this month’s issue, we are very pleased to share with you our new and unique Periodic Table, spotlighting the growing issue of element scarcity. The Periodic Table aims to raise awareness over the worrying decline in some of the chemical elements that make up the world around us, as well as to rethink the way we use and discard electronic products, and in particular our smartphones. Scroll down for some updates on the future research funding programme Horizon Europe, Open Science policy, and the launching of the piloting of our online course on Ethics and Chemistry. Registration is open for our upcoming workshop on Parkinson’s disease: causes and cures, jointly organised with the European Parliament and the European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC), so make sure you save your place now! And last but not least, you can now submit your nominations for the EuChemS Lecture Award and the EuChemS Award for Service online now (deadline: December 31st)! You can read the full newsletter online here [1]. [PT FOR WEBSITE] [2] EuChemS Periodic Table: Spotlight on element scarcity The smartphone you may be using right now to read this article and look at this Periodic Table is made up of some 30 elements – over half of which may give cause for concern in the years to come because of increasing scarcity. With some 10 million smartphones being discarded or replaced every month in the European Union alone, we need to carefully look at our tendencies to waste and improperly recycle such items. Unless solutions are provided, we risk seeing many of the natural elements that make up the world around us run out – whether because of limited supplies, their location in conflict areas, or our incapacity to fully recycle them.

An important topic was the launch of Plan S, which has the potential of deeply altering the current framework surrounding access to scientific journals. But EuChemS remains concerned that many implications of Plan S continue to be disregarded and many questions left unanswered. Read our full debrief here. [4] Horizon Europe: updates and views from EuChemS On 28 August, EuChemS published an updated Position Paper [5] with amendments on the proposed plans for Horizon Europe, successor to the Horizon 2020 research framework programme. At a recent hearing in the European Parliament, various aspects of the plans for Horizon Europe were debated, including the excellence pillar, geographical distribution of funds, and more.
