2011 is the International Year of Chemistry

1 January 2011 - The International Year of Chemistry 2011 (IYC 2011) has a theme of "Chemistry–our life, our future," and it will focus on the "achievements of chemistry and its contributions to the well-being of humankind." It aims to raise awareness of chemistry among the general public and to attract young people into the field, as well as to highlight the role of chemistry in solving global problems.

IYC2011 events are being organized by national chemical societies, such as the American Chemical Society, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Brazilian Chemical Society, the Society of Chemical Industry and the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, and by regional chemical federations, such as the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences and the Federation of African Societies of Chemistry.
