Brussels News Update, August 2019
Hello and welcome to the August edition of 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. With the summer holidays in full swing, business in Brussels has slowed down and we have taken this opportunity to recharge our batteries ahead of a busy upcoming autumn. Nevertheless, here is your monthly BNU with some light summer updates to keep you in the loop!
Enjoy your summer reading,
You can read the full newsletter online here.

Horizon Europe: experts of the five major European research and innovation mission boards selected
End of July, the Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, Carlos Moedas, announced the names of the experts who have been selected as members of the mission boards to work on five major European research and innovation missions. The missions will be part of Horizon Europe, the next EU research and innovation programme (2021-2027). Read the full story here.
Chemical Industry is on the path to define the "European Way"
The European Chemical Industry Council’s (Cefic) President Daniele Ferrari stressed at the 100th anniversary of the International Union of Pure and Applied chemistry (IUPAC) in Paris, that the EU chemical industry needs to define “The European way”, notably the need to innovate towards circular models, leading on sustainability and being at the forefront of innovation in technologies. Full article available here.
European Research Council plans for 2020
In July, the European Research Council (ERC) announced its biggest ever annual injection of funding in blue-sky research. €2.2 billion will be made available in 2020 to support some 1100 top researchers. As in previous years, most of the funding (61%) is earmarked for early- to mid-career scientists and scholars. The funding will also support jobs for an estimated 8,000 postdoctoral researchers, PhD students and other research staff employed in ERC-funded teams. More information available here and here.
European Parliament elects European Commission President
On 16 July, Ursula von der Leyen was elected to be the next European Commission President following a series of uncertain weeks of negotiations between the various European institutions and eventually the European Parliament’s vote in favour. Read our debrief here.
