Dear Friends of the EYCN,

Welcome to the July edition of the EYCN newsletter.

EYCN promotes actions aiming to engage and involve more young chemists in activities such as conferences, meetings, and events that have chemistry as central subject.

In order to increase the visibility of the EYCN across Europe, we would be very grateful if you could share our Facebook page, Twitter and LinkedIn page with your respective societies or companies. As you will see, we are currently featuring a "Pick of the Week" photo on Facebook as one way of increasing visibility. We will also be starting a monthly competition using our social media pages, so keep a look out! If you have any other ideas for making the EYCN more well known across Europe, please get in touch. 

1) We are pleased to announce that the 12th EYCN delegates assembly will be held in Heraklion (Crete), and organised by the Association of Greek Chemists (Regional Division of Crete) and the Chemistry Postgraduates' Student Association.
