Invitation to the 14th Asian Chemical Congress

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the 14th Asian Chemical Congress (14ACC) Organizing Committee and The Chemical Society of Thailand (CST) under the patronage of Professor Dr. HRH Princess Chulabhorn, it is my great pleasure to extend a warm invitation to you to participate in 14ACC on 5-8 September, 2011 in Bangkok, Thailand, under the auspices of the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS). Over the past 26 years, ACC has grown to be one of the major international conferences in chemistry. The 14ACC continues the Asian Chemical Congress (ACC) tradition of high-quality, broad international participation in all areas of Pure and Applied chemistry. Fortunately, the year 2011 has been announced to be the International Year of Chemistry 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. In this occasion, the 14ACC is event more special than before, as to celebrate the International Year of Chemistry. The 14ACC provides unprecedented opportunities for participants to expand their scientific horizons. The theme of 14ACC, Contemporary Chemistry for Sustainability and Economic Sufficiency, is particularly appropriate as chemistry and the chemical sciences are increasingly being turned to address global environmental, health, and energy challenges. The scientific program will include all traditional areas of chemistry and also offers outstanding content uniquely characterized by 6 leading universities in Thailand. Bringing together participants from across region and around the world, this landmark congress will provide a superb opportunity for conversation, collaboration, and networking. In addition to the wide variety of technical presentations, the congress exhibition will provide insights into the latest products and developments from number of companies and organizations. Aside from the opportunities afforded by the congress sessions, you will also have the chance to experience a myriad of Thailands tourist and cultural attractions that are exceptional and exotic. From classic sights to fabulous temples and palaces, to natural wonders as diverse as forested mountains and beautiful beaches and islands, from delicious culinary discoveries to fabulous shopping bargains, there is plenty that will leave you with fond memories of the Kingdom of Thailand and its warm and welcoming people. We are looking forward to meeting you, your family, and colleagues at 14ACC in Bangkok. We hope that you will find the congress both enjoyable and valuable. We thank you in advance for participating and contributing to the success of the event. With best wishes
