„The activity of organizing scientific meetings is continued and
developed: the “International Conference of the Chemical Societies of the
South Eastern European Countries” is organized by regional cooperation
with the chemical societies from Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece,
Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia; COFrRoCA, the “Franco-Romanian
Colloque of Applied Chemistry” is organized in cooperation with the
universities of Bacău (Romania) and Orleans (France); periodically
international conferences with a high scientific level are organized in
cooperation with the University “Politehnica” Bucharest, “Ovidius”
University Constanţa, “Petru Poni” Institute Iasi.
The present publications of SChR include “Revista de Chimie” (a
scientific journal publishing original results, with a constantly rising ISI
impact factor), the “Bulletin of the Romanian Chemical Society” (an
information journal on the activity in chemistry in Romania), “Chimia” (a
publication for undergraduates), as well as a series of publications of the
local sections of SChR: “ProChimia”, “Universul Chimiei”, “ChimMax”.
The local sections of SChR together with the universities have as an
important activity to attract young people in the study of chemistry.
The constant orientation to increase weight of the experimental activity
is not aleatory, nor is it isolated. It comes from the tendency to fill, even
partially, the gaps in experimental instruction of the undergraduate studies
and it follows the recommendations of SChR. Many of the activities
promoted by the local sections and the sections of the society belong to this
line of action”
