#NobelPrize in Chemistry – announcement 2026 (TV webcast)

They made chemistry choose a mirror image.

Some molecules, such as amino acids, exist as two variants that are each other’s mirror image. However, living organisms only contain one of these mirror images. How chemical asymmetry such as this could have emerged was long a mystery to chemists. Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026 for discovering a solution to this puzzle. Life’s chemistry is what chemists call homochiral, after the Greek words for “same” and “hand”. Like hands, all amino acids exist as two mirrored variants, but only one of them is found in the proteins in your cells. The other is rarely found in nature. For a long time, chemists wondered how homochirality can emerge. When they began to experiment with chemical reactions that can form two mirrored molecules, they always obtained equal proportions of both in their test tubes. However, chemists strived to produce only one of these mirror images, because in the development of molecules that will interact with living beings – such as in pharmaceuticals – only one mirror image will have the desired effect. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026 recognises discoveries that have enabled chemists to drive chemical reactions that lead to homochirality. “Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai have provided a solution to a chemical mystery that is over a century old: how homochirality can emerge spontaneously. The chemical reactions they have developed are spectacular,” says Heiner Linke, chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry. Henri Kagan took the first decisive step in 1986, when he discovered a new way of manipulating chemical reactions. This allowed him to create a greater excess of one of the mirror images than had previously been thought possible. Kenso Soai took the next step. In 1995, a key publica­tion describes how he designed the first ever chemical reaction that had the potential to be homochiral. In 2003, he finally succeeded. He presented a reaction in which only one of the two possible mirror images was formed. Other than life itself, no one had previously achieved this feat. Thanks to Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai, we now know how homochirality can emerge. Their discoveries have been decisive for chemists who design reactions for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals.

Het Buitenspeelalarm 07-10-2026

Jantje Beton, een organisatie die zich inzet voor jeugdvoorzieningen in Nederland, organiseert de campagne ‘Het Buitenspeelalarm’ op iedere eerste woensdag van de maand.

Bijna 400.000 kinderen in Nederland spelen nooit buiten. Er ontstaat een generatie aan binnenzitters. Dat is niet gezond. Jantje Beton maakt zich zorgen en slaat alarm! Niet-buitenspelen is een groot probleem. Hoe maak je vriendjes in je buurt als je nooit naar buiten gaat? Te veel binnenzitten zorgt voor overgewicht, slechtziendheid, depressiviteit en slapeloosheid onder kinderen. Dit moet veranderen. Daarom slaat Jantje Beton elke eerste woensdag van de maand het Buitenspeelalarm! Volg Jantje Beton op socials of meld je aan voor de nieuwsbrief om maandelijks het Buitenspeelalarm en een gratis buitenspeeltip te ontvangen. Ga mee naar buiten en laat kinderen spelen!

Symposium Harmful Policing

Dutch Surveillance Studies

The lethal violence being perpetrated by ICE in the United States and the death of a migrant worker in French police custody have caused widespread outrage and reinvigorated concerns about harmful policing and disproportionate uses of force.

Whilst police violence is often viewed as a physical force, the increased digitization of policing produces new forms of harm. By connecting both dimensions, this symposium aims to contribute to the interplay between technology, policing and harm. Research into ‘traditional’ forms of police violence tend to focus on physical force, less-than-lethal weaponry, crowd control and fatal incidents. The digitization of policing brings about the potential for a new range of harms, such as through facial and speech recognition software, algorithmic decision-making, risk-profiling and online surveillance. Moreover, the usage of digital technologies can influence discriminatory practices such as stop-and-searches and other traditional forms of police violence. Harmful policing manifests itself in a wide range of lived experiences and employs a diverse, increasingly digitalizing, set of methods and applications. In this symposium we explore the interactions between digital policing and physical manifestations of police violence, and ask if our algorithmic society calls for redefining police violence and the use of force. How are people impacted by digital police violence? Does digital policing influence and intertwine with traditional modes of police violence and, if so, how? But also: which tools can foster police transparency and accountability that earn public trust and reduce harmful policing? The symposium is a prelude to an international exhibition on building public truths and fatal police violence in het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, opening in 2027. The symposium provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, activists, and experts through experience to come together and reflect on police violence, its temporal and systematic effects, material and digital technologies, lived experiences of policing, and the harms of digitalized police practices.

Kanker in 2045: verwachting voor incidentie en sterfte – publicatie

Kanker in 2045: verwachting voor incidentie en sterfte

Aantal kankerdiagnoses stijgt tot 2045 naar bijna 170.000 per jaar, vergrijzing zorgt voor meer kanker, maar preventie kan de toekomstige ontwikkeling beïnvloeden.

Het jaarlijkse aantal nieuwe kankerdiagnoses in Nederland stijgt naar verwachting van ruim 136.000 in 2025 naar bijna 170.000 in 2045. Ook het aantal mensen dat aan kanker overlijdt neemt toe: van ruim 46.000 in 2024 naar ruim 57.000 in 2045. De toename van het aantal ouderen in Nederland is hiervoor de belangrijkste verklaring. Dat blijkt uit toekomstverkenningen van Integraal Kankercentrum Nederland (IKNL). Al jaren is kanker een van de ziekten met de grootste ziektelast in Nederland. Kanker heeft niet alleen een enorme impact op patiënten en hun naasten, maar ook op de maatschappij en de zorg. Deze toekomstverkenning maakt zichtbaar hoe het aantal kankerdiagnoses en sterfgevallen door kanker zich in de komende twintig jaar kan ontwikkelen. Deze cijfers vormen belangrijke input voor plannen om de zorgvraag zo goed mogelijk op te vangen en de impact van kanker te verminderen.

World Cotton Day 2026

World Cotton Day

Cotton is one of the most common fabrics in our wardrobes: it is comfortable, hypoallergenic, breathable and durable.

But cotton represents so much more than just a commodity. This natural fabric is a life-changing product worldwide that sustains 32 million growers (almost half of them women) and benefits over 100 million families across 80 countries in 5 continents. This means that, behind any cotton clothing, following back its trade chain, there is a personal story. It is true that cotton is really important to developed economies, but for least-developed and developing countries, it is a safety-net. Cotton is a major source of livelihoods and incomes for many rural smallholders and laborers, including women, providing employment and income to some of the poorest rural areas in the world. On this official UN World Cotton Day, the United Nations wants to raise visibility of the cotton sector and awareness of the critical role that it plays in economic development, international trade and poverty alleviation. The observance also aims to highlight the importance of sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.

#WDDW World Day for Decent Work / Werelddag voor Fatsoenlijk Werk 2026

International Trade Union Confederation

October 7, is the World Day for Decent Work, during that day trade unions, union federations and other workers associations develop their actions to promote the idea of Decent Work.

Actions vary from street demonstrations to music events or conferences held in many countries. The United Nations Economic and Social Council has given a General Comment that defines “decent work” and requires satisfaction of Article 7 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: decent work is employment that “respects the fundamental rights of the human person as well as the rights of workers in terms of conditions of work safety and remuneration. … respect for the physical and mental integrity of the worker in the exercise of his/her employment. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), decent work involves opportunities for work that are productive and deliver a fair income, security in the workplace and social protection for families, better prospects for personal development and social integration, freedom for people to express their concerns, organize and participate in the decisions that affect their lives and equality of opportunity and treatment for all women and men. The ILO is developing an agenda for the community of work, represented by its tripartite constituents, to mobilize their considerable resources to create those opportunities and to help reduce and eradicate poverty. The ILO Decent Work Agenda is the balanced and integrated programmatic approach to pursue the objectives of full and productive employment and decent work for all at global, regional, national, sectoral and local levels. It has four pillars: standards and rights at work, employment creation and enterprise development, social protection and social dialogue.
The Sustainable Development Goals also proclaims decent work for sustainable economic growth.
