IYC 2011
The International Year of Chemistry 2011 (IYC 2011) is a worldwide celebration of the achievements of chemistry and its contributions to the well-being of humankind. Under the unifying theme "Chemistry—our life, our future," IYC 2011 will offer a range of interactive, entertaining, and educational activities for all ages. The Year of Chemistry is intended to reach across the globe, with opportunities for public participation at the local, regional, and national level.
Each month C&EN will highlight a region of the world and profile ACS members living and working in some unlikely places. International members make up nearly 15% of ACS's 163,000 members, and they reside in 140 countries.
In additon to these "Off the Beaten Track" profiles, we'll constantly be introducing IYC 2011 related content. Below you can find the most recent stories concerning IYC 2011.
