International meeting organized by the Groupe d'histoire de la chimie, supported by the CNRS and the SCF The IUPAC will celebrate its centennial in July 2019. On this occasion, the great steps of its existence will be reminded, and to that aim, it is customary to draw on historical material, and also on the actors who witnessed the activity of this international body. Writing this history is a complex, and multifaceted and long-winded work. The length of the chronological period,…

WHY TCEs? Trace elements, including the PGE (platinum group elements), REE (rare earth elements), and others like Nb, Ta, Ga, In, Ge and Te, are often referred to as technology critical elements or TCEs. The rate of their production and utilisation has particularly increased through their use in high-tech applications. The possible environmental and (eco)toxicological implications of this trend is the object of the EU COST action NOTICE.

In the history of the discovery and establishment of the Periodic Table, it seems there is hardly any women scientists involved. More numerous are they however when it comes to filling the table, and discovering elements, their properties and their use, even though those women are often forgotten or overlooked. This symposium will address specifically the contribution of women to the PT and the knowledge of its elements, by demonstrating the presence of women and girls in the history of…

Women have made enormous contributions to the advancement of chemistry over the last 100 years, but they rarely take time to celebrate these achievements. We encourage groups to organize breakfast networking events and to connect on that day with other groups around the world as a way to strengthen the bonds between women in chemistry. We invite chemists and students from around the world to come together on February 12, 2019 for a global breakfast celebration entitled, “Empowering Women in Chemistry:…

Spectral data and chemical structures are most often published as static figures embedded within publisher formatted documents (e.g. PDF). This practice has greatly limited both reuse and discovery of chemical data. The chemical community has recognized this limitation and, as a result, there is wide interest in enhanced sharing of spectral data and chemical structures in the form of machine-readable files. However, there is a lack of guidance for authors specifying how to create, describe, and package machine-readable chemical data…

The meeting has traditionally been organized jointly by the Croatian Society of Chemical Engineers and the Croatian Chemical Society on a biannual basis (since 1969). It gathers scientists and experts from Croatia and neighboring countries from academia and industry that will contribute to the Meeting through five sections (Chemistry, Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Material Science, Environmental protection and Education) with posters and oral presentations, exchanging experiences and accomplishments for the purpose of spreading new knowledges, ideas and technologies within the…
