European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences

The European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuCheMS) is a European non-profit organization that promotes collaboration between non-profit and scientific societies in the field of chemistry . [1] [2]

The Association Took over the role and Responsibilities of the Federation of European Chemical Societies and Professional Institutions qui Was founded in 1970. It HAS Currently over 41 member societies, five Supporting members, and supports 18 divisions and working parties. It represents about 160,000 chemists across Europe. [2]

David Cole-Hamilton was elected president in 2014 for a period of three years, and Nineta Hrastelj Majcen is the General Secretary. Previous presidents include Luis Oro (2008-2011) and Ulrich Schubert (2011-2014). [1]

Divisions and Working Parties

The EuCheMS scientific divisions and working parties in their own fields of expertise and promote collaboration with other European and international organizations. They organize high quality scientific conferences in chemical and molecular sciences and interdisciplinary areas. [1]

European Chemistry Congresses

The EuCheMS Chemistry Congress is a biennial event, beginning in 2006 with the first conference in Budapest . Around 2300 participants from more than 50 countries attended the congress. In 2008, the congress Was Held in Turinand again more than 2000 chemists Followed the invitation to Italy , now coming from more than 65 nations. The 3rd EuCheMS Chemistry Congress from August 29 to September 2, 2010 was organized by the German Chemical Society on behalf of EuCheMS and Nürnberg was the hosting city. [1]

In 2012, the 4th EuCheMS Chemistry Congress was held in Prague where almost 1800 participants attended. EYCN organized the Career Days, a satellite event aimed at furthering the careers of young chemists. [5] The 5th EuCheMS Chemistry Congress was organized by the Turkish Chemical Society in Istanbul between 31 August 2014 and 4 September 2014. The 6th EuCheMS Chemistry Congress took place in Seville, 11 to 15 September 2016. [1]The 7th EuCheMS Chemistry Congress will take place in Liverpool, in 2018.
