  • The Danish Chemical Society Annual Meeting 2019
    The Danish Chemical Society – Annual meeting 2019 Kemisk Forening – Årsmøde 2019 The Danish Chemical Society Annual Meeting 2019 27th of June 2019, Copenhagen University of Copenhagen www.chemsoc.Dk 1 The Danish Chemical Society – Annual meeting 2019 Kemisk Forening – Årsmøde 2019 Mission and history of The Danish Chemical Society The Danish Chemical Society was founded in 1879 as a society for Danish chemists and has since focused on the advancement of chemistry and the improvement of the public recognition of chemistry. This mission has not changed and is of even more importance today, where modern life is entirely dependent on chemical achievements like materials research (e.g. polymers), and medicinal chemistry (e.g. drug discovery), to name just a few. The public recognition of chemistry needs more young students and researchers in the various branches of chemistry to engage in discussions on important questions in our society. Many global problems are strongly linked to chemistry (e.g. green energy, affordable health care, clean water or the protection of our environment). Become a member of The Danish Chemical Society and: ü Participate in scientific meetings organized or supported by our society ü Write articles and essays in the society journal – Dansk Kemi ü Apply for travel grants ü Find job offers within the society network ü Receive society awards for outstanding contributions in chemistry (e.g. PhD prizes) ü Organize local meetings for your chemistry division with support from your society ü Promote your career as an invited speaker at our national meetings Sign up at chemsoc.dk and become a member (1st year of your membership is free) [annual membership fee - student members: 225 Kr - full members: 450 Kr] Famous Danish chemists W.
