Kekulé Cycle XX: “Our World in Transition”

The Kekulé Cycle is a biennial event that brings the latest scientific trends and challenges in the (life) sciences and technology to the general public. It is organised by the University of Antwerp and the Royal Flemish Chemical Society (KVCV) with support from the chemical and life sciences industry. Through a series of lecture evenings, a diverse audience is brought into contact with contemporary technological and socio-economically relevant developments concerning societal challenges that feature prominently on everyone’s agenda — drawing on insights from academia, research institutes, and industry alike.
