Dear Members and Colleagues,
As the President of the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS), it is my pleasure to address you at the onset of what promises to be an invigorating year for our community. Our federation, a beacon of collaboration and innovation, is set to advance the frontiers of chemical sciences across Asia.
This year, we are focused on deepening our impact in promoting sustainable practices within the chemical industry, enhancing educational outreach, and fostering international collaborations. The importance of chemistry in addressing global challenges such as climate change, health, and sustainability has never been more pronounced. Our role as chemists is pivotal in crafting solutions that are both innovative and practical.
We are proud to launch new initiatives that include regional conferences, workshops, and seminars aimed at equipping our members with cutting-edge scientific knowledge and tools. These platforms will also serve to strengthen our network and encourage a free exchange of ideas and expertise.
Moreover, I am excited to announce the upcoming Asian Chemical Congress, which will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, in 2025. The conference will feature world-renowned speakers, panel discussions, and poster sessions that showcase the research contributions from our talented members across the region.
Our commitment to the next generation of chemists remains strong. Through scholarships, mentorship programs, and educational resources, we aim to inspire and support young scientists in their academic and professional journeys.
I invite each of you to participate actively in our activities, share your insights, and contribute to the vibrant growth of our scientific community. Your involvement is key to our collective success.
Together, let us continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in chemistry and make significant contributions to our societies and beyond.
Warm regards,
Prof. Dr. Mustafa Culha
President, Federation of Asian Chemical Societies
