ACS and RSC Sign Agreement to Foster International Cooperation
On July 9, 2024 the American Chemical Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry signed a memorandum of understanding during the EuChemS Chemistry Congress in Dublin. The renewed agreement seeks “to co-operate for the establishment of a continuous communication and exchange in the field of chemistry and related areas of knowledge for the benefit of both United States and United Kingdom chemical sciences communities and the future successes of both societies.” ACS CEO Albert G. Horvath said: “ACS is pleased to continue its partnership with RSC through this agreement. Both RSC and ACS have a similar history of supporting chemists and chemical engineers in their pursuit of a better world for close to two centuries and this agreement bolsters our abilities. This agreement reflects our shared goal of fostering a stronger chemical enterprise across the globe. Together we will have greater impact.”
