Within this year, the congress is celebrating the “International Year of Chemistry” announced by International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) aiming to place importance on and promote the chemical scientific works which make the 14th ACC 2011 the largest international chemical congress in region.

14ACC will discuss the latest in chemical research, development and education, aiming to make progress in sharing and learning scientific knowledge and improving the quality of life and environment. Nobel and eminent scientists from all over the world are invited to present plenary and keynote lectures, e.g., Professor Dr. Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn Mahidol, Yuan Tseh Lee (The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1986), Ada E. Yonath (The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009), etc. The scientific works from Instructors, Researchers, Educators and Students in chemical and related fields are as well presented.

14ACC gives a great opportunity to researchers and academicians from graduate students to seniors to present, share and exchange their works and experiences. It is also a good chance for chemists from both public and private sector to gain proficiency from International leading scientists, to share new ideas and innovation, and to meet new exhibitors. These, will encourage the use of science and technology to push forward economy and quality of life to its permanent stability.
The Chemical Society of Thailand (C.S.T.) truly believes that besides the valuable scientific knowledge, all participants’ trip to Thailand, The Land of Smile, will be an impressive and memorable one.
