The European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences
The European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuCheMS) is a not-for-profit organisation which works across 32 European countries to promote collaboration between 42 non-profit making chemical and molecular sciences societies. Corporately these 42 societies comprise of more than 160,000 chemists from a broad range of academic, industry and government backgrounds. EuCheMS was founded in 1970 and is an Associated Organisation of IUPAC.

Organisation Structure and Governance
The EuCheMS is broken down into twelve Divisions and five Working Parties which work to increase networking in their area and to coordinate relevant conferences. These Divisions are as follows:

Division of Analytical Chemistry Division of Chemical Education Division of Chemistry and the Environment Division of Chemistry in Life Sciences Division of Computational Chemistry Division of Food Chemistry Division of Inorganic Chemistry Division of Nuclear and Radiochemistry Division of Organic Chemistry Division of Organometallic Chemistry Division of Physical Chemistry Division of Solid State and Materials Chemistry Working Party on Chemistry and Energy Working Party on Chemistry for Cultural Heritage Working Party on Green and Sustainable Chemistry Working party on Ethics in Chemistry Working Party on the History of Chemistry

The Association is governed by its General Assembly, which defines the general policy of EuCheMS. Its Executive Board commissions and oversees the Association's scientific, educational and professional activities.

Activities and Awards
The EuCheMS facilitates the biennial European Chemistry Congress and regularly bestows four awards in recognition of notable achievements. These are the European Sustainable Chemistry Award, the European Young Chemist Awards, the EuCheMS Lecture and the Award for Service.

EuCheMS also produces a monthly EuCheMS Brussels News Update and a EuCheMS Newsletter which is published several times a year.
