About 15ACC

 

The Asian Chemical Congress (ACC) is held at two yearly intervals hosted by the members of the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS) which comprises 30 chemical societies of countries and territories in the Asia Pacific.

15th ACC @ Singapore will be an exciting conference in chemistry for the Asian community to strengthen current networks and to establish new collaborative links within Asian community and also with the rest of the world. The scientific program comprises sessions that illustrate the relevance and value of chemistry in modern science and technology.
