Jointly organised by STEM Alliance and Scientix, the chat was held online on Thursday, 28 March 2019 from 10:00 to 11:30, Brussels time. The chat took place in English. During this session, pupils had the opportunity to ask questions on careers in the petrochemical industry to the experts. The STEM Alliance chat sessions address classes (pupils from secondary schools) that are led by one or more teachers and aim at promoting awareness of all aspects of STEM careers. Since these chats bring together key STEM professionals and classes from different European countries, they may enhance a lesson focusing on a significant subject. During one and a half hour, pupils, led by one or more teachers, had the opportunity to ask topic-related questions to the experts:
