This special event is being held by the European Young Chemists' Network (EYCN) who are hosting events across Europe this week to celebrate UNESCO's International Year of the Periodic Table.
Join us downstairs in the Tata Monique bar as we find out all about the discovery and uses of some chemical elements and their current applications.
Talks in English and French

11, 12, 13 and 14 carbon isotopes! (English)
Dr Davide Audisio
(CEA Researcher)
One of the most important elements for all living things is carbon. There are 15 known carbon isotopes, but only four of them have an impact in our society. We will learn about them and their current applications.
Le tableau périodique découvert à travers la minéralogie (Français)
Dr Didier Nectoux
(Curator of the mineralogy museum of Mines ParisTech)
Certains éléments, comme l'or, l'argent, le carbone, le soufre ont été isolés et concentrés par la nature. On les trouve donc à l'état natif. Mais la plupart des autres éléments sont extraits à partir de minerais ou de minéraux. Cette présentation apporte le regard du minéralogiste sur le tableau périodique des éléments chimiques et fait découvrir, à travers les échantillons du musée de minéralogie MINES ParisTech, les richesses minérales de la Terre.
