Brussels News Update - November 2018

Hello and welcome to the November edition of Brussels News Updates, bringing you all the latest from our Brussels office, upcoming events, and activities!

The last few weeks have seen a flurry of activity, from our workshop in the European Parliament to taking part in the EU Circular Economy missions to Japan and Indonesia, without forgetting updates on Horizon Europe, ‘Plan S’, important European Parliament votes on plastics and antibiotic resistance, and more besides.

And don’t forget, nominations for the EuChemS Award for Service, and the EuChemS Lecture Award are open! It’s a great opportunity to show your appreciation for someone’s outstanding work (deadline: 31 December2018)
