Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), the world's authority for chemical information, has announced a five-year agreement for SciFinder®, the choice for chemistry research, with the Prague Consortium, a consortium of schools in Prague, and the Czech Academy of Science institutes. The long-term agreement guarantees that faculty, staff, students, and other researchers at member institutions in the Czech Republic's storied capital can access the most accurate, comprehensive and current research, available only in SciFinder.
SciFinder, the preferred source of chemical information for scientists worldwide, is now available to academic researchers in science departments in universities throughout Prague. Because access to SciFinder is unlimited, researchers in multiple areas of study, including biochemistry, biology and related biosciences, pharmacy and pharmacology, forensics, physics, medical and dental, biomedical engineering and material science, will be able to take advantage of the research tool.
A celebratory event was recently held in Prague to recognise the agreement between the organisations. Members of the Prague Consortium spoke to the unique collaboration founded by this consortium, and the event also included awards for Ph.D. students, postdocs, and scientists from member organisations.
The five-year agreement provides SciFinder to the Institute of Chemical Technology Prague, representing the Prague SciFinder Consortium for themselves, and on behalf of the Charles University, Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals, Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, and J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry.
