Café Chimique: The Future of Transport

On the evening of 27 November 2019 RSC Belgium held its latest Cafe Chimique at the Auderghem Cultural Centre in Brussels. The topic was 'The Future of Transport' with a focus on the role and opportunities for chemical sciences in the future transport mix (electric vehicles, hydrogen etc), but also taking a wider view on transport policy.

Our three speakers were:


All three gave short introductory talks on the subject supplemented by a brief outline of the status of hydrogen and fuel cell research from RSC Belgium chairman Prof Bob Crichton before a lively and extended audience-led discussion ensued.


As with our previous Cafe Chimique debates the audience was seated in a café-style format and a gratis bar and light refreshments were available before and during the whole event.


The event was free entry, but we collected for our Norman Lloyd Scholarship Fund during the evening raising a further EUR 220 to support chemistry students from less affluent backgrounds during their first year at Cardiff University.
