Dear European chemical community,
as the President of the Slovak Chemical Society (abbreviated SChemS), I would like to shortly introduce our society for EuChemS members and magazine readers. The SChemS stands as the largest and oldest professional society in Slovakia, which was established in 1929. It proudly holds memberships in EuChemS, Chemistry Europe, and IUPAC. Presently, it unites almost 900 chemists who are distributed among 29 professional groups from various regions across Slovakia. Our primary objective is to foster unity among all chemists in Slovakia who are dedicated to education, science, research, and industry. This is achieved through the organization of conferences and seminars, active support for popular lectures, the Chemistry Olympiad, and other initiatives. SChemS is also committed to acknowledging and awarding talented chemistry students through various competitions.
