This page acts as a handy aide-memoire for forthcoming RSC Belgium events and activities. We also post information on interesting events notified to us by colleagues in the Belgian chemical science community. Unless otherwise stated RSC Belgium events have a 7:30pm start time.
Our forthcoming programme of events is outlined below. Why not bookmark this page to ensure you know what is happening and when?
Our future Programme
29 October 2026 - Too much, too little, and too polluted: local solutions to the global water crisis
On the evening of Tuesday 29 October 2026, we will welcome Prof. Wouter Buytaert, Professor of Hydrology and Water Resources at Imperial College London.
Wouter Buytaert works at the interface between hydrological process understanding, water resources management, and global development. He focuses in particular on studying the impact of environmental change on the terrestrial water cycle, and its consequences for managing water resources and flood and drought risk. He applies and develops advanced methods for data collection, computer simulation, and knowledge transfer to support environmental decision making and development policies. He is working extensively in the Global South, with a particular interest in mountain regions such as the Andes and the Himalayas.
Professor Wouter's talk will address the global challenges surrounding water resources, including the possibility that water scarcity could become a source of geopolitical tensions and conflict in the future. Climate change, together with increasing soil sealing and urbanisation, is also putting additional pressure on groundwater resources and their replenishment.

10 November 2026 - Nuclear Medicine and Radiopharmaceuticals (Exact title TBC)
On the evening of Tuesday 10 November 2026 we will welcome Dr Steve Dierick from the Institute for Radioelements (IRE). The venue will be the Social Area above the Brel Theatre at the British School of Brussels (BSB).
More details soon.
Our 2026-27 programme is still in formulation! More events coming soon!
Our colleagues from the Royal Flemish Chemical Society (KVCV) have an extensive calendar of events that run throughout the year. KVCV is the professional association of Flemish chemists, and aims to bridge the gap between education, industry and society.
SRC events**
Our colleagues from the Société Royale de Chimie (SRC) also have an extensive calendar of events that run throughout the year. The SRC is a non-profit association that mainly brings together chemists from the French Community in Belgium whose main activity is exercised in one of the many fields of chemistry.
