Abstract
If current trends continue, according to Nobel Laureate chemist Richard R. Ernst, Europe could eventually become a Third World continent in terms of science and technology. Ernst, professor of physical chemistry at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, gave that warning at a conference on the future of chemistry in Europe held in Brussels last month. We need to bridge the communication gap between science and society and we also need to halt the exodus of new technologies from Ernst stressed. Europe, which was the cradle of chemistry, is not doing badly in research, but it is losing out in the production of new products. The challenges and opportunities facing the European chemical community were explored at the meeting, which was organized by the Brussels-based European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) on behalf of five organizations collectively known as the Alliance for Chemical Sciences & Technologies in Europe (AllChemE). The organizations are CEFIC, ...
