With the support of Egis Pharmaceutical Company and the RCISD Regional Centre for Information and Scientific Development, as the Hungarian coordinator of the European Researchers' Night, organised a round table discussion on the state of chemistry education and the possibilities of promoting chemistry as a subject in connection with this year's Researchers' Night. Egis provided the venue and was actively involved in mobilising teachers.

 

During the discussion, participants shared their thoughts on the challenges and problems of chemistry teaching and possible solutions. The three most pressing problems identified were the relatively low number of lessons, the shortage of teachers and the lack of equipment.

 

The organisers of the Researchers' Night, in cooperation with Egis, support all initiatives to promote chemistry and disseminate good practices.
