27 March 2024 - A cuddle from the energy transition **
Can Belgium decarbonize without renewables? Can renewable energy development follow COP28 expectations? Is exponential growth of renewables sustainable? Is realizing the Energy Transition by 2050 still feasible? Could our Energy Ministers do more? All questions that may be answered at the next #Science & #Cocktails event with Prof Bart Vermang of Hasselt University, an ERC grant recipient and photovoltaic expert. Also music and cocktails! More information and tickets here.

October 2023 - March 2024 - Kekulé Cycle XX: Our World in Transition**
The University of Antwerp and the KVCV, The Royal Flemish Chemical Society, proudly present the programme of the 20th Kekulé cycle XX. This series of six evening events, each with three speakers, will feature a wide variety of scientific and technological presentations - all highly relevant to problems facing our contemporary world.

Transitions are everywhere in our society.  The way we live, eat, move around, work, relax, take care of our mental and physical health and more can no longer be compared to that of previous generations. The changes are fundamental.  Obviously, this is caused by new knowledge and opportunities, arising all over the world. A fundamental change now is the integration of sustainability in all areas. This brings new challenges, and opportunities. This Kekulé cycle will highlight a number of essential transitions that will have an impact on both our private life and our work environment.

More events coming soon!

KVCV events**
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.

Many KVCV events are conducted in English and more information can be found on their website.

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. 

Some SRC events are conducted in English and more information can be found on their website.
