In the context of the Conference, an event will be held, co-organized by the Exporters’ Association (SEVE) and the Thessaloniki Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EVETH), on Sunday 12 November 2023 at 18.00, at the building of EVETH (Tsimiski 29).

According to the organisers, the event aims “to bring together scientific knowledge from the academic community and the experiences/practices that are flourishing in the professional and industrial world. Chemistry, a science that crosses numerous disciplines and fields, concerns a multitude of professionals and professions ranging from education and research, to the production of agricultural and industrial products and the provision of services, e.g. chemical analysis”.

The Department of Chemistry of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki recognizes as an important institutional obligation the education and training of young scientists in advanced knowledge of Chemistry and the corresponding fields of cutting-edge application of Chemistry, with a direct link to the country’s economy through innovative production processes, provision of advanced services and specialized know-how.

The extroversion of the Department of Chemistry of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and its cooperation with active bodies of the national economy, such as SEVE and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, are the most appropriate way, according to the organizers, to produce business executives, as well as freelancers and entrepreneurs with a high level of knowledge, self-confidence and creative spirit. This cooperation, in addition to strengthening the local economy and ensuring sustainable development, promotes a collaborative and inclusive learning and learning environment through the exchange of views, experiences and methods.
