Would a chemist ever work for the European Union?

Question

I have been talking to a guy online and he told me that when he was younger his dad worked for the EU so they lived in several countries like Belgium, and Italy. Now he told me his dad is a chemistry professor at a university. So my question is, could this be true? I'm skeptical about it.

Answer 1

There are very many laws in the EU, and some of them have to do with chemistry.
So it is possible that he used to work in his own field, as adviser or something.

It is also possible that he did a different kind of work then.
