"Chemistry for Sustainable Food" was the theme of the ninth Chemical Sciences and Society Symposium (CS3) held at the Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ) in Tokyo from September 19 to 21. About 30 scientists from China, Germany, the UK and Japan discussed future issues from the perspective of chemistry, including "Food Engineering," "Revolutionary Food Production" and "Circular and Sustainable Chemistry for Food Sustainability. The American Chemical Society (ACS) participated with two technical papers via videocall. The results will be summarized in a white paper as recommendations for politics, science and society.
The German delegation included Monika Pischetsrieder (Erlangen-Nuremberg, Co-Chair), Ute Weisz (Bonn), Markus Fischer (Hamburg) and Holger Zorn (Giessen) from the Food Chemical Society (LChG), as well as Elisabeth Kapatsina from the GDCh office.
?Science to Enable Sustainable Plastics? was the topic of the 8th Chemical Sciences and Society Symposiums, held from November 10-13, 2019, in London. 30 scientists from China, Germany, Japan and UK and representatives from the chemical societies and research funders from these countries discussed how chemistry can help to enable sustainable plastics. Keynote and position talks triggered the discussion in four thematic sessions: new plastics, recyclability of plastics, degradation of plastics, and measuring the impact of plastics. In a summarizing session recommendations for scientists, research funders, policy makers and society were developed which will be published together with the results from the thematic sessions in a white paper later in 2020.
Andreas Greiner (Bayreuth) led the German CS3 delegation to London, additional delegates were Markus Biesalski (Darmstadt), Christian Laforsch (Bayreuth), Stefan Mecking (Konstanz), Brigitte Voit (Dresden), Markus Behnke (DFG), and Hans-Georg Weinig (GDCh).
The Chinese Chemical Society (CCS), the Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), GDCh and research funders from all participating countries, amongst them the German Research Foundation, support the CS3 series financially and as co -organizers.
At the end of the meeting delegates from all four countries discussed in a live streamed online panel discussion, facilitated by BBC environment reporter Laura Foster, important outcomes of the CS3 and answered questions coming from online followers worldwide.
