Getting the chemistry right

Knowledge of chemistry is of central importance for Billerud’s activities. To encourage students who have interests and knowledge in this subject Billerud awards stipends at several upper secondary schools in Sweden. These stipends entitle students to participate at the Berzelius conference, an event arranged by the Swedish Chemical Society. The aim is to inspire young people to study chemistry at university or college. At the most recent conference 350 upper secondary students and 40 teachers from 190 schools attended the conference’s presentations, panel discussions and study visits. Several Billerud employees, including senior executives, have received the Berzelius stipend.
