At a moment when chemistry is called to address humanity’s challenges, the American Chemical Society (ACS) is proud to support the 10th EuChemS Chemistry Congress (ECC10), a gathering renowned for scientific excellence and global collaboration. As ACS marks 150 years of advancing chemistry and supporting the scientific community, ECC10 offers a fitting stage to reflect on a shared legacy of discovery and look ahead to breakthroughs that will shape a more sustainable future. ECC10 convenes global leaders in research and innovation, in addition to diverse voices from academia, industry, and policy, all united by a common mission.
ACS shares that mission. Across its journals, meetings, and programs, ACS advances progress in energy, the environment, and sustainability. From research published in a broad portfolio of environmental and sustainable chemistry-focused journals to the work of the Office of Green Chemistry & Sustainability, ACS’s efforts align with the Congress’s focus on sustainability, circularity, and innovation. ACS supports green chemistry education via conferences, acknowledges innovative green technologies with awards, and makes funding available to early-career researchers committed to sustainable practices. ACS also supports fundamental research in fossil fuels and petroleum through the ACS Petroleum Research Fund.
These initiatives demonstrate ACS’s commitment to responsible chemistry for society. Through education resources, the National Historic Chemical Landmarks Program, and a strong emphasis on ethical scientific practices, ACS promotes a culture where chemistry serves society with integrity, transparency, and respect for its past and future. This aligns with EuChemS initiatives that elevate responsible practice, scientific heritage, and chemistry’s role in addressing societal needs.
Antwerp hosting ECC10 is fitting: it’s a region known for pioneering innovative materials. ACS journals dedicated to materials science showcase discoveries that shape the next generation of energy technologies, manufacturing, and biomedical applications. ACS is eager to amplify research that pushes the boundaries of what materials can achieve.
As ECC10 highlights the transformative power of chemistry through research, industry engagement, and global exchange, ACS is honored to stand alongside EuChemS to advance a shared scientific vision.
