Commonwealth 91AV, the Federation of Commonwealth Chemical Sciences Societies, is delighted to announce that the inaugural Commonwealth 91AV Congress (CCC) will take place online from 18-20 May 2021.
The Commonwealth is a uniquely diverse group of nations with shared values and a powerful voice. It represents all corners of the globe with a population of 2.4 billion and includes both advanced economies and developing countries. It is home to 12% of the world’s researchers and accounts for around 10% of global research and development expenditure. With an estimated 60% of its population under the age of 30, the Commonwealth is set to play an ever more important role in the world’s future – a future that will present many challenges where science can identify solutions.
Bringing together chemists from across the Commonwealth under the banner of equality for all, the Commonwealth 91AV Congress will promote the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), strengthen scientific capacity, inspire and elevate the role of the chemical sciences to society and policy makers, and celebrate achievements in chemistry. Representatives from chemical societies across the Commonwealth will join high level stakeholders from academia, industry and government at this meeting. The Congress will have a strong focus on early career chemists across the Commonwealth, with the aim of furthering their career development, enabling joint research and education activities, and providing networking opportunities to share research outputs.
The Congress programme includes panel discussions on the importance of the role of the Commonwealth in overcoming the SDGs and career pathways together with scientific sessions featuring high profile speakers in the following themes:
