[Picture 1] SOTEU ADDRESS AND DEBATE HELD On 14 September, President of The European Commission Ursula von der Leyen addressed the members of the European Parliament at the annual, high-profile State of the European Union (SOTEU) debate. While SOTEU is held every September, following the summer recess, to provide a platform for MEPs to engage with the Commission, evaluate its performance in the past year and its future directions, the 2022 occasion is considered extraordinary by many, as the EU faced significant challenges last year, and it is set to face an equally challenging future. Learn more about it here [4]. DEBATES OVER HORIZON EUROPE BUDGET CONTINUE As the finalisation of the 2023 EU budget approaches, clashes between the European Council and the European Parliament over the funds for the Horizon Europe programme continue. The Commission\u2019s proposition in June allocated 12.3 Billion EUR to the programme, which was an increase of 100 million EUR compared to the previous year. However, the Heads of States in the European Council amended the proposed budget by reducing it with more than 600 million Euros, which would make the total sum less than the 2022 funding overall. Numerous members of the European Parliament, however, expressed their disapproval towards the proposed cuts. Read our full debrief here [5]. [Picture 3] COMMISSION PUBLISHES ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLEMENTATION REVIEW On 8 September, the Commission published the third Environmental Implementation Review (EIR), a regular reporting tool designed to improve the implementation of EU environmental laws and policies. This tool contains defined common trends at EU level and shows information on the state of play in the implementation of EU environmental law, based on 27 individual countries. Read the full article here\ufeff [6]. SCIENCE\/BUSINESS INITIATIVE TO BALANCE INNOVATION BETWEEN REGIONS\ufeff On 7 September, Science\/Business, a media organisation and interdisciplinary network of research, policy and industrial organisations, held a public conference in Brussels that aimed at exploring avenues of Research & Industry (R&I) cooperation. Over the course of the event, Science\/Business launched its \u201cWidening\u201d initiative, which aims to be a tracking tool that surveys the development and growth of the Eastern European region\u2019s public and private R&D enterprises. Read more about it here [7]. [Picture 5] ITRE MEETS ON INNOVATION COUNCIL AND REPOWER EU Returning from the summer recess, the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) met again on 1 September.During its first post-recess meeting, the Committee focused on two key topics: the Implementation report on the European Innovation Council (EIC) and the REPowerEU initiative in context of recovery and resilience plans. Learn more about it here [8]. ERC Grantees to collaborate with Thai researchers thanks to new partnership Thailand and the European Union launched a new initiative on 9 September, aiming to promote cooperation between researchers of the EU and the country. The agreement is pioneering collaboration between the EU and the ASEAN region, as this is the first arrangement that will enable cooperation between Thai researchers and European Research Council (ERC) grantees.

[whats-new-at-euchems] [Picture 7] A LOOK BACK AT THE SUCCESSFUL ECC8 On the afternoon of 1 September, Floris Rutjes, President of the European Chemical Society, and Artur Silva, President of the Portuguese Chemical Society, formally closed the 8th EuChemS Chemistry Congress. We were glad to see that the closing ceremony followed a successful, large scale, international congress \u2013 finally in person, after a delay of two years. Read the details here [10]. EUCHEMS MEETS IN LISBON \u2013 ANNUAL MEETINGS Lisbon hosted the General Assembly and Professional Network meetings of EuChemS, that took place on 26 and 27 August. On the afternoon of 26 August, the key topics were, amongst others, updates on what is new at EuChemS, policy work, projects, communications, financial matters, Professional Networks and EYCN updates. The following day, 27 August, participants discussed a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to awards and strategic issues. The day concluded with the Professional Networks\u2019 annual meeting. Find them here [11].
