International Chemical Sciences Chapters

ACS works to advance the field of chemistry around the world. Scientists outside the United States have formed International Chemical Sciences Chapters (ICSCs) to allow chemists within a geographic area to connect with one another, as well as ACS members around the world. Forming a chapter brings additional benefits to international members, beyond what they already enjoy as members of ACS.

To hear the real-life story of how ACS membership has been central to the success of chemist Dr. Jason Chruma, check out the video below:
