This is a forum at 15 ACC to introduce selected experienced editors of prestigious journals to share their experiences as editors, and give advice to many young & new authors especially in Asia. It would also give a chance for the conference delegates to meet the editors face-to-face to discuss issues relating to publishing papers in the top journals in the world. After the lecture, the editors will also take part in a special interactive forum created for the conference participants. They may of course take this opportunity to introduce the unique features of their Journal (& Society) to our participants who often face difficult decisions in deciding where they can publish their best works. The editors who will speak include

The “Pioneers from Asia” lectures (~30) at the 15th Asian Chemical Congress are delivered by the most eminent scientists who were either educated in Asia or whose work are conducted in Asia especially in the member countries and regions of Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS). They are typically pioneers of their field of specialization over a broad range of topics in chemistry. They were selected among the nominees of peers, members of the 15th ACC organising committee and member societies of FACS. They are role models of established scientists who aspire to be world-class leaders in their fields. They are comparable with the best in the world.
Their lectures are integrated into the 15th ACC scientific program. They will receive a personalized commemorative plaque at the conference banquet.

The thematic lectures (~60) on “Asian Rising Stars” at the 15th Asian Chemical Congress are delivered by a new generation of the most promising scientists typically of age 40 and below working in Asia especially in the member countries of the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS). Their lectures will cover a broad but significant range of contemporary topics in chemical science. They were selected among the nominees of peers, members of the 15th ACC organising committee and member societies of FACS. They are role models of young scientists who are embarking on a scientific career in chemistry. They carry the hope of chemistry in Asia.
Their lectures are integrated into the 15th ACC scientific program. They will receive a personalized commemorative plaque at the conference banquet.
