IUPAC FAIR Chemistry Cookbook for sharing and reusing data
The IUPAC FAIR Chemistry Cookbook is a new living resource developed to enable the chemical sciences community to move toward sharing and reusing data, code, metadata, etc. that are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable or FAIR.
In a digital work environment, well prepared researchers need to be comfortable working their way around digital data formats, code, and online computing platforms. Proficiency in basic digital data handling skills can empower chemists to exploit FAIR and open data resources and handle real-world chemical data scenarios more effectively. As a result, the Cookbook content is designed to train, encourage, and enable chemistry researchers and data professionals to help support practices, workflows and data that are more FAIR. See DETAILS and step into the future of Chemistry with this new tool !

Version 2.0 of the EuChemS Periodic Table addresses sustainability
EuChemS published the updated version of its periodic table highlighting element scarcity. The new version also considers the sustainable use of chemical elements.
The EuChemS Periodic Table was initially released in 2019, on occasion of the International Year of the Periodic Table. It highlights how the resources of chemical elements that make everything up on this planet are limited. On this EuChemS Table of Chemical Elements, each chemical element is shown on a logarithmic scale, its shape depending on the abundance of the element itself, while its colour reflecting availability. Considered a “living document”, it has been updated a number of times to reflect on societal changes and scientific discussions, such as the ones held at the EuChemS Periodic Table workshops on specific elements and their uses.
The 2.0 version was approved last year, at the EuChemS Annual Meetings in Larnaca, Cyprus. The main update is the inclusion of a section on sustainability by the introduction of the deep red colour. The changes reflect the planetary boundaries and the results of the COP28 held in Dubai. With the addition of the deep red colour, the table now has 7 colours split into two categories: availability and sustainability.
Since its publication, the EuChemS Periodic Table can be disseminated freely as long as there are no changes, under the Creative Commons Attribution NoDerivs CC BY-ND. EuChemS is also happy to receive community-made translations.

Heilbronner-Hückel Lecture Tour of Prof. Peter R. Schreiner in Switzerland May 13-17, 2024
Heilbronner- Hückel Lectures 2024
The Swiss Chemical Society is happy to announce the Heilbronner- Hückel Lectures 2024. In collaboration with the GDCh this series is provided on a yearly basis alternately in Switzerland and Germany.
The 2024 series is given by Professor Dr. Peter R. Schreiner from the Justus Liebig University Giessen (Germany)
"Cool Organic Chemistry Toward CHO-Systems Chemistry”.
The series is named after the chemists Edgar Heilbronner, born in Munich in 1921 and passed away in Herrliberg in 2006, and Erich Hückel, born in Berlin 1896 and died in Marburg in 1980.
Edgar Heilbronner emigrated together with his wife to Switzerland because of the Nazi regimes and studied chemistry in Zurich at the ETH where he also habilitated later on. In 1968 we changed to University of Basel.
Erich Hückel studied physics and mathematics at the University of Göttingen and habilitated at ETH Zurich as well.
