Hello and welcome to the March edition of the Brussels News Updates, the monthly EuChemS newsletter keeping you up to date on the latest chemistry related science-policy issues, news and upcoming events and awards. The main action for EuChemS this month is the 3rd European Employability Survey (ESEC3). All chemists and chemical engineers are kindly invited and strongly encouraged to answer the survey before 31 March. Their feedback is key for designing better future landscape for chemists in Europe when it comes to employability, skills, education and overall quality of life of citizens in Europe. Furthermore, EuChemS is preparing to answer the European Climate Pact consultation of the European Commission and we are getting ready for our coming events, such as celebrating EuChemS 50th anniversary and the 8th EuChemS Chemistry Congress (ECC8). You can read the full newsletter online here.

ECHA launched the EU Chemicals Legislation Finder The EU Chemicals Legislation Finder (EUCLEF) is the European Chemicals Agency – ECHA’s new online service to access an overview of 40 pieces of EU chemicals legislation. This online service was launched on 11 March and is free to access. The purpose of EUCLEF is to offer organizations a better understanding on their obligations across different UE laws, by compiling them in one place. It includes legislations on occupational health and safety, environment, product control and many more. EUCLEF also comes with a dedicated regulatory advice service that helps companies on the content of different legislation and related regulatory obligations.
