Outreach
Chemical products and applications are ubiquitous. Chemical processes take place everywhere, even in our bodies and in our kitchens. Researchers are tackling the challenges of our time and developing new innovations such as solar cells and fuel cells.
The Institute of Chemistry informs interested parties about its work at various events and offers school students opportunities to further their education in the field of chemistry.
