Abstract
The youths’ disaffection for science in general and for chemistry in particular is widespread in Europe. The situation is sometimes catastrophic: in Belgium at the UCL, 120 students graduated in chemistry in 1972 (called “licences” at the time); nowadays, there are only a dozen of them a year. Everywhere, from Bulgaria to Spain, the same arguments come up; they can be divided in two categories: - Society-related arguments. - Subject-related arguments.
