[Picture 1(1)] EU RESEARCH AND INNOVATION DAYS TOOK PLACE ONLINE The 4th edition of the European Research and Innovation days (RIDays) was held on 28-29 September, organised by the European Commission, which considers it as its flagship Research and Innovation event. This year’s edition was held as a digital only event, consisting of a wide range of workshops and panel discussions streamed online. Learn more about it here [4]. EUROPEAN COHESION HIGHLIGHTED AT EU REGIONS WEEK The milestone 20th edition of the European Regions Week, an annual, large scale event focused on the cohesion of, and cooperation between the regions of Europe, was held between 10 and 13 of October. The event, comprising of more than 260 workshops, sessions, and participatory labs in total, hosted participants and speakers from various backgrounds: regional political and administrative representatives, academics, and experts from industry. Read our full debrief here. [5] [Picture 3] CHEMISTRY NOBEL PRIZE AWARDED FOR “CLICK CHEMISTRY” On 5 October, the recipients of the 2022 Nobel Prize for Chemistry were announced: Carolyn R. Bertozzi and K. Barry Sharpless from the United States as well as Morten Meldal from Denmark received the honour jointly. The prestigious scientific award was given in recognition of discovering the foundations for a simple method of connecting molecule blocks together relying on the simplicity of connecting azides with alkynes. This is an achievement on a functional field of chemistry, dubbed “click chemistry”. Read the full article here [6]. EUROPEAN RESEARCHER’S NIGHT PROMOTES SCIENCE On the night of 30 September, the European Researchers Night took place. The Europe-wide science communication and promotion event is primarily aimed at the younger generation – meaning that in all Horizon Europe associated countries, fun, family-oriented and engaging educational activities were held by scientific organisations. The Researcher’s Night, taking place yearly, on the last Friday of each September, is sponsored by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions. Read more about it here [7]. [Picture 5] STRICTER LIMITS TO BE SET ON POPS On the 4 October plenaries, the Parliament adopted a notion setting stricter limits on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). The ENVI committee adopted the draft resolution back in April, following the Council’s call for restricting POPs. The rules will be adopted by the European Council formally in the near future, after which they will be published in the EU Official Journal. They will apply in six months following the publication. Learn more about it here [8]. COP27 and Methane Emissions in focus for Committees On 3 October, the members of the ENVI Committee adopted a resolution, calling G20 countries to adopt more ambitious climate goals ahead the UN COP27 Climate Conference, to be held in Egypt next month. On 10 October the members of ENVI and ITRE also discussed the joint draft report on the proposed regulation for the reduction of methane emissions in the energy sector. Read more about it here [9]. [whats-new-at-euchems] [Picture 7] EUCHEMS AT THE 3RD ZERO POLLUTION STAKEHOLDER PLATFORM The European Chemical Society was represented by Secretary General Nineta Hrastelj and Executive Board Member Ioannis Katsoyiannis at the 3rd meeting of the Zero Pollution Stakeholder Platform, held in Brussels on 11 October, at the European Commission. Ioannis Katsoyiannis contributed on behalf of EuChemS, with regards to the topic of regulation of pharmaceuticals in waters and wastewaters of Europe. Read the details here [12]. NEW TRANSLATIONS OF THE EUCHEMS PERIODIC TABLE Six additional community translations of the 2021 2nd version of the EuChemS Periodic Table were approved and published online recently. With the addition of Basque, Dutch, Galician, Hungarian, Italian and Ukrainian translations, the document can be accessed in a total of 14 languages. Find them here [13]. [Picture 9] EUCHEMS AWARDS NOMINATIONS OPENING UP Ema Bojnec and Daša Žuman received the EuChemS prize for the best chemistry project at the 2022 EU Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS). They have worked on a linear structure notation for compounds for visually impaired in chemistry. Read more about it here [14].
