The sharing of data will enable researchers to do better science. Open science advocates for access to high-quality shared data, reproducibility, the provision of negative as well as positive results, and clear licensing that describes how data may be used. Improvements in technical infrastructure and software have the potential to make collaboration more effective, ultimately accelerating science and making it more impactful. However, the advances in areas like machine learning and artificial intelligence can only be fully exploited if researchers have access to the high-quality data that the scientific community generates. (Based on Matthew Todd’s statement on The Importance of Open Science at Chemistry Europe)

Committed to promote open access and open data, Chemistry Europe presents this Special Collection that compiles a selection of works on these topics, published across our portfolio. A recording to the Virtual Symposium organized by ChemistryOpen, "Open Data and Open-Source Research", is also available. Read more

On the 21st April 2021 the European Commission will organise an open information session on “A successful proposal for Horizon Europe: Scientific-technical excellence is key, but don’t forget the other aspects”.

This webinar is a continuation of the session on “How to prepare a successful proposal in Horizon Europe”, held on the 24th March 2021. It provides additional details on the preparation of a proposal for Horizon Europe, like open science, gender dimension or dissemination, exploitation and communication aspects.

This second Horizon Europe webinar will take place via YouTube only, from 10.00am CEST.

Registration and agenda are available via the following website.

As members of our society and of Chemistry Europe, we all share responsibility for setting the future of Chemistry Europe. ChemistryViews, its online magazine is a key part of our global future.

Please follow this link to complete this survey about the future of ChemistryViews and help strengthen our chemistry community in Europe: Click here to take the survey

The survey will be open until March 31.

By launching the new SCS website we aimed to provide a modern website with clearly structured content that also fulfills the today's safety standards. The site reflects the four business areas in which SCS is active: Events, Networks, Awards and Publishing.

Check your profile on scg.ch and review your areas of interest and affiliations with SCS thematic and social networks. We use the links to send you tailored information about the communities' activities.

We are confident that the new improved website will serve the community and pose an accurate platform for scientific exchange in all fields of chemistry as well as for networking.
