EYCN poster exhibition "Chemistry for a better life" in the European Parliament

---

To coincide with the STOA workshop “Chemistry for a better life”, EYCN (the European Young Chemists Network) organised a poster exhibition showing many abstract images related to chemistry, each one chosen to demonstrate the varied impact of chemistry on our day-to-day lives.
The images were taken from the huge library of photos that had been collected as part of an “Everything is Chemistry” photography competition - the 12 winning photos becoming a calendar for the International Year of Chemistry. When EuCheMS were approached about a potential exhibition for celebrating the IYC, they turned to EYCN to coordinate a presentation of a wider selection of these images as A0 posters.
The exhibition, which was put together by Aurora Walshe, EYCN, was opened by Professor Ulrich Schubert, the President of EuCheMS. He spoke about the beauty of the images and the questions that they evoked. With no text or explanation, the images were chosen to make the viewer ask about the relationship with the chemical sciences.
