The American Chemical Society (ACS) has announced a three-year collaboration with the Korean Chemical Society (KCS) to recognise outstanding contributions by distinguished scientists in Korea. The collaboration includes an annual award and a symposium.
The new ACS-KCS Excellence Award – sponsored by Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society – honours a scientist working in Korea who is excelling in the field of chemistry. The recipient is selected by KCS and receives a cash award, three-year complimentary access to SciFinder and a three-year ACS membership. The award will be presented annually during the KCS spring meeting.
For 2017, the ACS-KCS Excellence Award recipient is Dr. Sukbok Chang, a director of IBS, a professor at KAIST and an associate editor of ACS Catalysis. Chang is being honored for his development of catalytic systems enabling highly selective and efficient C-H functionalization of low reacting molecules. He received his award on April 20.
As part of the KCS spring meeting, which occurred April 19-21 in Kintex, Goyang, ACS Publications also hosted a symposium entitled ‘Chemistry for Next-Generation Materials and Life Sciences.' The symposium was jointly coordinated by Joon Won Park, POSTECH and chair of KCS' Division of International Cooperation; Carolyn Bertozzi, Stanford University and editor-in-chief of ACS Central Science; Jwa-Min Nam, Seoul National University and vice-chair of KCS' Division of International Cooperation; and Christopher Chang, University of California, Berkeley and senior editor of ACS Central Science. The symposium featured distinguished keynote presentations from a variety of global scientific leaders.
