To start the festivities, on 30th May, Cefic organised a \u201cCefic Honour Science & Chemistry\u201d event where 34 of Europe\u2019s top chemistry professors, including two Nobel Prize laureates and 21 PhD students from all across the EU, gathered at the Brussels Metropole Hotel to recreate the iconic picture made in 1927 during the Solvay International Conference on Electrons and Photons. This world-famous photo shows the prime of the scientific leadership of that time, including Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie and Albert Einstein.
25 CEOs and Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) of Europe\u2019s leading chemical manufacturers also joined professors and promising young scientists during this event. They seek to reinforce the alliance between science and business to ensure scientific progress and innovation find their way to the market and contribute to the EU\u2019s Green Deal agenda.<\/p>\n

ESIG\u2019s technical manager, Thomas was part of the Cefic scientists\u2019 team and contributed to a project for invited PhD students aiming at imagining the innovation breakthroughs needed to re-invent the chemical industry. The assignment focused on the future of chemistry and its role in solving some of the biggest societal challenges.<\/p>\n
