Information Days about SMEs in Horizon 2020

Read time: 1 min

This fall, the European Commission will host two Information Days – on October 18th and November 29th – about SMEs participation to Horizon 2020. The event will be specifically tailored for those organization supporting governmental and non-governmental SMEs.

Participants will:

  • Acquire the practical information regarding the actions provided within the Horizon 2020 Programme to support the SMEs, including the new financial tools and the access to venture capitals.
  • Identify the framework within which Horizon 2020 will operate.
  • Be able to engage into a dialogue with EU officials, in order to identify the best opportunities for SMEs in Horizon 2020.

The event is free of charge prior registration, which can be done by sending an e-mail to [email protected]. It is required to indicate which of the two events will be attended. Seats at these events will be limited, and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Deadline: 18/10/2013 (for the first Info Day), 29/11/2013 (for the second Info Day).

Discovered a New Carbon-Carbon Chemical Bond

A group of researchers from Hokkaido University has provided the first experimental evidence of the existence of a new type of chemical bond: the single-electron covalent bond, theorized by Linus Pauling in 1931 but never verified until now. Using derivatives of hexaarylethane (HPE), the scientists were able to stabilize this unusual bond between two carbon atoms and study it with spectroscopic techniques and X-ray diffraction. This discovery opens new perspectives in understanding bond chemistry and could lead to the development of new materials with innovative applications.

After nearly a year of review, on September 25, a study was published in Nature that has sparked a lot of discussion, especially among chemists. A group of researchers from Hokkaido University synthesized a molecule that experimentally demonstrated the existence of a new type of chemical bond, something that does not happen very often.
