STAFF REPORT KARACHI: The world will celebrate 2011 as the year of chemistry. The theme of the year is “Chemistry our life, our future.”
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and United Nation’s Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) have endorsed this initiative.
“It is time to celebrate the achievements of chemistry and its contributions to the world of science and technology,” an official of the IUPAC told the media while commenting on this decision. He said that it was in August 2007 that the IUPAC General Assembly in Italy decided to dedicate 2011 to the advancement of chemistry.
“The national core group in chemistry has planned many important events of chemistry in Pakistan for 2011. National core group in chemistry was established on 17 January, 2002 by the MoST to promote research in chemistry at various levels,” ICCBS Dr. M. Iqbal Choudhary said.
