Call for nominations: EuCheMS Lecture Award
The European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences awards the EuCheMS Lectureship. The Lectureship must be of a very high scientific level. It serves to strengthen the image of EuCheMS and of European chemistry in general. It should also emphasise the common interests and scientific cooperation among chemists in Europe.
The Lecturer should be a prominent chemist from a European country, who will be selected by the EuCheMS Executive Board. EuCheMS member organisations are invited to make proposals.
The deadline for nomination is 31 May 2013.
For details and nomination form please check the Lecture Award web page..

Fall Meeting 2013
Fall Meeting 2013,
EPFL Lausanne, September 6, 2013
The Swiss Chemical Society Fall Meeting is the largest annual scientific congress organized in Switzerland. More then 560 scientific contributions were handed in to be presented in one of the nine poster or parallel oral sessions.
The event offers a unique opportunity for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and senior scientists from both, academic and industry, to share and exchange the results of their research. It also allows chemists to exchange ideas, often creating the seeds for new projects and collaborations.
The nine parallel sessions are:
- Analytical Chemistry
- Catalysis Science and Engineering
- Computational Chemistry
- Inorganic and Coordination Chemistry
- Medicinal Chemistry & Chemical Biology
- Organic Chemistry A: Methodology, Catalytic reactions…
- Organic Chemistry B: Synthesis, Natural Products….
- Physical Chemistry
- Polymers, Colloids & Interfaces
The Fall Meeting 2013 takes place at EPF Lausanne on September 6, 2013.

Neuer Look von www.SimplyScience.ch
Die Webseite von SimplyScience wurde überarbeitet und kommt in einem neuen Kleid daher. Neuerdings ist die Seite auch «en Français» verfügbar.
SimplyScience.ch ist eine Internetplattform, die Kindern und Jugendlichen von 8–18 Jahren die faszinierende Welt der Naturwissenschaft und Technik näherbringen will. Jüngere Kinder finden auf SimplyScience.ch Spiele und Rätsel und können Anleitungen für spannende Experimente herunterladen. Für sie ist der „Kids“-Bereich mit den Maskottchen Simply, Science und der schlauen Biene gestaltet.
Ältere Kinder und Jugendliche können spannende Infos zu naturwissenschaftlichen Themen nachlesen, bei Rätseln und Wettbewerben für ihre Altersgruppe mitmachen und erfahren, welche Berufe interessant sein könnten, wenn man sich für Naturwissenschaften interessiert.
