You are all kindly invited to join our 2020 celebrations and before reading on we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! You can read the full newsletter online here [1]. [iypt] THE INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE PERIODIC TABLE IS COMING TO AN END On December 5, the Official Closing Ceremony for the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT) took place in Tokyo, Japan. Professor David Cole-Hamilton, EuChemS Vice-President, attended the ceremony on behalf of EuChemS. 150 years after the discovery of periodicity by Mendeleev, 2019 was selected to be the year-long celebration of the universally known symbol of science. The IYPT2019 permitted to put chemistry under the spotlights for a whole year, enhancing initiatives for a better communication among the different fields of the discipline. Events were organised all year-long, in Europe and beyond.
