Description
The Solvay Institutes are unique not only in their history and prestige, but also in their ability to identify emerging scientific themes and to bring together the best researchers from diverse backgrounds around them. Their exceptional added value therefore stems from the founding nature of their scientific activities and their resolutely forward-looking orientation. The Institutes are therefore actors in scientific research, unlike the Nobel Foundation, which essentially rewards major past discoveries. As newly appointed Director of the Solvay Institute for Chemistry, I would like to present the current activities and my vision for a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach of Science.
