"Understanding Science" is organized by the UK Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), the Beijing University of Chemical Technology, and the International Space Science Institute - Beijing (ISSI-BJ). Its goal is to make a broader public aware of today’s accomplishments in research through short scientific lectures in English (popularization talks) as well as to have an opportunity to talk with either international or Chinese scientists currently carrying out research in China, in a friendly environment.
