Tweede prijs in de 4de Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson EYCN Video wedstrijd over duurzaamheid
Wouter Van Hoey en Lore Van den Bergh hebben de tweede prijs gewonnen in de 4de Sir Wilkinson European young Chemist's Network "Chemistry Rediscovered" video wedstrijd over 'Bringing the sustainable development goals to life'.
"The world as we know today is facing several challenges that will affect our future if not dealt with appropriately. Therefore, at the UN Sustainable Development Summit of September 2015, all members of the United Nations agreed on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which consists of 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These goals provide a blueprint towards achieving a better and more sustainable future for everyone. As PhD students in Chemistry, the question of how our research contributes to sustainability is frequently posed. To our opinion, sustainability is more than the research projects we are working on, it is part of our scientific DNA, which resonates in our daily lives. Therefore, with this video we hope to answer that burning question by providing evidence straight from our daily lives. Because as it turns out, studying our daily lives indicates that we as scientists truly have the potential to contribute to all the sustainable development goals in one way or another. Finally, regarding the video, we would like to highlight that it was decided to mimic the video clip of the song Afterglow by the group Wilkinson in order to pay tribute to the Wilkinson Charitable Foundation for supporting this competition."
