Hello and welcome to the March edition of BNU \u2013 Brussels News Updates, the monthly newsletter that keeps you up-to-date with the latest news, events and developments concerning chemical sciences in Europe! From high-level meetings to consultations, from antimicrobial resistance worries to women and science in the spotlight, the last few weeks have seen an interesting array of developments in chemistry in Europe. Don\u2019t forget to take a look at the EuCheMS 2017 Year Book [1] for an insighful overview of EuCheMS Professional Networks, policy initiatives, conferences, events and much, much more. So, scroll down for a glimpse of our highlights and upcoming events \u2013 and click here for the full BNU newsletter [2]. [2] EUCHEMS PARTICIPATES IN LATEST HIGH-LEVEL ADVISORY GROUP \u2018OPEN SCIENCE POLICY PLATFORM\u2019 MEETING EuCheMS participated in the fifth high-level roundtable event of the Open Science Policy Platform (OSPP). On the menu: discussions on integrated advice on open science, including the involvement of citizens in science. Get the full update here [3]. [fp9-copy] [4] EUCHEMS RESPONDS TO CONSULTATION ON EU FUNDS IN THE AREA OF INVESTMENT, RESEARCH & INNOVATIONS, SMES AND SINGLE MARKET EuCheMS has responded to the public consultation on EU funds in the area of investment, research & innovations (R&I), SMEs and single market and has published a position paper laying out in more detail our vision for the way forward in the future Framework Programme 9 (FP9). EuCheMS has defined a total of eight Missions that should be established in key areas \u2013 Missions that we, as the voice of Chemical Sciences in Europe, perceive as vital to tackle the global challenges facing Europe. More on our position here [4]. WOMEN IN SCIENCE - EUROSTAT FIGURES [women-in-science] [5] On the occasion of International Women\u2019s Day on 8 March, EuCheMS has looked back on figures shared by Eurostat on the current distribution of female scientists and engineers across the EU. The conclusion? From the 17 million scientists and engineers in Europe, 40% are women and 60% men. But whilst women hold a majority of jobs in science and technology in service activities, they only account for less than 30% in manufacturing. Take a closer look at facts and figures here [5]. COMMISSIONER MOEDAS TALKS SCIENCE, INDUSTRY AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP AT EU INDUSTRY DAY AND LAUNCHES EIC HORIZON PRIZE ON INNOVATIVE BATTERIES During the second edition of the EU Industry Day [6] forum, Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, Carlos Moedas, described the innovative changes in industry and society as resembling the propeller of a plane \u2018\u2019with three strong blades: the first is Science; the second is Start-Ups; and the third is Industry\u2019\u2019 and announced the launch of the EIC Horizon Prize on Innovative Batteries for e-Vehicles. A prize of \u20ac10 million for whoever cracks the challenge. Take a look here [7]! [stetoscopes] ECDC AND EFSA PUBLISH REPORT DEMONSTRATING CONTINUED RESISTANCE TO ANTIMICROBIALS The worrying trend of antimicrobial resistance has once again been confirmed in a report by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The news reaffirms the major threat this poses to public health. Read our full article here [8].
