The second year of Xperimania, a campaign to raise young people’s interest in chemistry, will be launched early October 2008 following the prize ceremony for the school year 2007-2008. The ceremony will be organised on 16 September 2008 at the Museum of Natural Science in Brussels, Belgium, and will reward the winning students for their work on the history of discoveries and lab reports.
Faced with the lack of scientifically-educated young people, the major petrochemical producers in Europe entrusted Appe (www.petrochemistry.net) with the development of an educational programme geared at raising awareness of the benefits of petrochemistry and motivating young people for scientific education. This was the starting point of “Xperimania – From Molecules to Materials”, which was launched in the 27 EU members-states in September 2007.
