Belgium

The RSC Belgium Section was established in the mid 1980’s and has around 100 members. The section organises an active programme of lectures and visits during the year, including an annual demonstration lecture held in the Brussels area.  

Schools lectures have included 'Kitchen Chemistry' where audiences found out about the energy in tortilla chips and how to make ultra-fast icecream.  

The 2007 Demo lecture is on 'The Chemistry of Light' and provides the inspiration for the annual schools essay prize and also a new poster competition which is being introduced for younger students.  

 

Group trips (both professional and social) are organised throughout Belgium and beyond and a highlight of 2006 was a tour of the Old Paper Mill at Alsemberg. 

 

The section also sponsors a team to go to the annual RSC Top of the Bench Competition in London.
