Commonwealth Chemistry aims to inspire, celebrate and elevate the role and practice of chemical sciences for the benefit of Commonwealth nations. At present, Chemical Societies of twenty six countries are members of the Federation. It was a pleasure to host the @FedCommChem Executive Board Meeting 2024 at @IITKanpur. Finance Committee deliberations, chemical sciences workshop and EB meetings ended with the final session in Agra and a memorable trip to the Taj Mahal. Look forward to 3rd Commonwealth Chemistry Congress in @StellenboschUni in 2025 with several speakers from India. Be part of 3rd CCC and join the movement. commonwealthchemistry.org/ev…

Today, we take the time to remember the 14 women whose lives were taken too soon in an act of violent misogyny. We respond by encouraging every Canadian to educate themselves, their families, and communities on gender-based violence and to speak up against harmful behaviours.
