In 1988, Saudi Chapter was affiliated with the American Chemical Society (ACS), the largest scientific society in the world (160.000 members). In 1993 the ACS formally recognized the Saudi Chapter as the first official International Chapter outside the USA. The Saudi Chapter has 200 members, mainly from Saudi Aramco and KFUPM. The following are recent examples of chapter’s activities |
PROMOTING CHEMICAL SCIENCES The concern to improve the image of chemistry with the public is shared by our members. Opportunities were taken to help in the "Public Outreach" effort by taking our case to the public. The chapter participated as an exhibitor in every Saudi Aramco Fall Fair and Earth Day Celebrations to foster a better understanding and escalating the attention to chemistry science. Further, as we in Saudi Arabia share the difficulty of attracting students to pursue degrees in chemistry, our members visit schools with "Chemistry shows" and presentations to inform students of the importance and contributions of chemist and chemical professionals to the industry |
| As the first Chemical Sciences Chapter of the ACS, the Saudi Arabian group pioneered the Chemical Sciences Chapter formation effort. Since its founding in 1988 and incorporation as a recognized affiliate in 1992, the Saudi Arabian International Chemical Sciences Chapter (SAICSC-ACS) has adopted the goals and objectives of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and contributes to the same organizational purpose. We have about 200 chapter local members, who do their utmost to encourage the advancement of Chemistry through the promotion of research in chemical science and industry, dissemination of knowledge and fostering educational programs here in Saudi Arabia |
