Historic Landmark Plaque Presentation at Jungfraujoch Lab

My trip up to Jungfraujoch was to attend a ceremony making the lab a historic landmark of European chemistry. Here is the official test from the Swiss Chemical Society:

On Friday, February 17, 2023 the European Chemical Society Historical Landmark Award plaque was presented at the Jungfraujoch High Altitude Research Station, Switzerland. A delegation of international guests, including representatives from EuChemS, ambassadors and politicians from involved partner countries, scientists from across Europe and the Swiss Government joined the event on the 'Top of Europe' and not only enjoyed the historical moment during the ceremony but also the great view in bright sunshine.

The day before the official ceremony on the Jungfraujoch, the SCS in collaboration with the University of Bern organized an international symposium on the topic «Chemistry of the Atmosphere» at the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University of Bern. The program included nine talks of renowned in international speakers. See the website (https://ehla23.scg.ch/) for more information and the abstracts of the talks.
