Forum40

In March 2016, a new series of lectures called Forum40 was initiated at the National Institute of Chemistry. Each month one department, especially younger researchers, has a chance to present its research. The aim of the lectures is getting to know your colleagues, research that they do and striving for accelerated cooperation between departments. Lectures last 40 minutes and are followed by 20 minutes of discussion.

The Week of the National Institute of Chemistry

Every year at the beginning of June, The National Institute of Chemistry Week is held. This is a series of professional and popular events aimed at both academia and the general public. In this way we showcase the work of the Institute and promote cutting edge science. There will be consultations, tables, professional and public lectures and a gala academy with the presentation of the prestigious Pregl Awards. At the same time, during this week we are also preparing an open week where interested groups and individuals can visit our facility. With all this, we want to celebrate our work and strive for scientific excellence, while at the same time drawing attention to the contribution of excellent science to societal development.

NIC library

As a part of the supporting services, since its foundation there is a central library at the institute, which offers journals and peer publications the most relevant for the scientific areas covered by the institute. Research staff is offered with the articles, books, papers, presentations, anything that can be useful for their research.

It should be noted that through the open innovation ecosystem, researchers always share their data and metadata gathered in their research efforts according to FAIR principle, avoiding replication of the research efforts.
