On July 9, the American Chemical Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry signed a memorandum of understandingduring 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.”

The Lehigh Valley Section of the American Chemical Society was the fifth local ACS section to be chartered. Founded in 1894, it serves the Lehigh Valley Area including six counties in Pennsylvania (Monroe, Northampton, Lehigh, Schuylkill, Berks and Carbon) and Warren county in New Jersey. ACS Local Sections promote public awareness of chemistry through community outreach programs. Working with students of chemistry and science, we encourage an interest in the chemical sciences. The LVACS also provides a valuable forum for communication between members and serves as a platform for sharing scientific and educational information. Find out more about us here.
