Hello and welcome to EuChemS - Brussels News Updates!
Welcome to the July edition of the EuChemS’ newsletter Brussels News Updates. On 18 and 19 June, the EuChemS Executive Board met in the picturesque town of Bern, Switzerland. Between brown bear spotting and rösti indulging, the Board discussed many important topics – from activities for the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT2019) to the upcoming online course on ethics and chemistry, from the new EuChemS logo to be unveiled at the 7th EuChemS Chemistry Congress to our recent policy activities. EuChemS also attended this year’s European Science Open Forum (ESOF) in Toulouse where science, policy and communications were at the forefront of discussions.
Scroll down to catch up with the latest developments in chemistry in Europe and our activities!

International Year of the Periodic Table 2019 - early preparations
2019 will be celebrated as the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT2019), as announced by the United Nations, and EuChemS, one of 5 supporters of the IUPAC lead initiative, will be at the forefront in promoting this significant moment. Through activities, events, worldwide initiatives and more, we hope to see celebrations play an important role in promoting chemistry and science globally.
We now have a dedicated website section for the IYPT2019 where you can find all the information you need, our activities, events organised by our Member Societies and Professional Networks, and also on how to get involved! Click for the full article.
