DAC Activities
Eventually EuCheMS has acquired the status of a legal entity located in Brussels, Belgium. The foundation of new Divisions, particularly in the core disciplines, is encouraged by the boards.
George Horvai, head of the local organizers, reported the receipt of some 2000 abstracts, and about 1500 participants have paid the fees so far to the First European Congress on Chemistry, Budapest, Hungary.
The corrected version in which the former name of the parent association 'FECS' was replaced with EuCheMS was passed unanimously.
Extension of the Directory of Delegates to include fields of expertice. The proposal is unanimously accepted. Delegates and observers are asked to provide information, which is then edited and included in the DAC Directory.
Identifying clusters of DAC experts as potential partners for external groups. In numerous fields of analytical chemistry, in particular with respect to methods such as spectroscopy and separation, international groups exist or can be expected to be formed. To provide them with the competent partnership, the related Delegates and Observers of DAC shall be indentified as clusters. These clusters are not meant to create a new structural level. The result and its presentation on the DAC website will be discussed at the next annual meeting.
