This Congress is the 10th in a series that started in Budapest in 2006, and since then has been held in several cities across Europe before reaching Antwerp. The EuChemS Congresses are noted for their excellent scientific level. They allow all the attendees and participants to listen to and interact with some of the most celebrated researchers in the world.
Antwerp is a metropolis on a human scale, situated in the heart of Europe, and has a lot to offer. Despite its relatively small size, it boasts the biggest port area in Europe and a vast offering of cultural, historical, and culinary delights enhanced by more than 170 nationalities. Antwerp is home to shopping centres, boutiques, museums, start-up hubs, premium hotels, and the historical home of Rubens. Additionally, the world’s largest diamond trade hub is within walking distance. Antwerp embraces heritage and innovation, business and leisure, global ambitions, and a genuine concern for nurturing a highly enjoyable quality of life for all its residents and visitors.
Antwerp houses the largest integrated chemical cluster of Europe, extending over the borders into The Netherlands, and Nordrhein-Westfalen in Germany, to form a chemical ‘center of gravity’. The chemical companies in these three regions are strongly interconnected and offer innovative solutions for the global challenges of today and tomorrow. Moreover, there is also an important pharma and life sciences industry.
By hosting the EuChemS Chemistry Congress at A Room with a ZOO, they directly support the field of animal welfare, heritage, breeding programmes, research and nature conservation worldwide through the Antwerp ZOO Society.
