Dear All
Chemistry forms the basis for understanding the nature of humankind and the universe and has played a pivotal role in the development of all sciences. Almost everything in everyday life has a benefit from chemical sciences, and therefore it has a very huge influence on human life. As a branch of natural science, chemistry is a very powerful tool that can create a better future, or in contrary, if it mislead can create disaster. For this reason, appropriate usage of chemical knowledge can lead human being to improve their quality of life. Chemistry is both rapidly growing and embracing other sciences, and therefore researchers require update in recent development of this field.

To celebrate this branch of science, the United Nations have declared the year 2011 as the International Year of Chemistry (IYC-2011) with the theme
“Chemistry - our life, our future”.

The Department of Chemistry, University of Kerala is organizing a UGC sponsored National Seminar on
“Recent Trends in Chemical Sciences: Frontiers and Challenges”
on 25-26 August 2011.

Dear Sir/Madam

Academy of Chemistry Teachers (ACT), a registered and recognized professional organization of Chemistry Teachers in Kerala, has been actively engaged in promoting the spirit and relevance of chemistry and assisting students and teachers in updating their knowledge in the emerging frontiers of the discipline, since its inception in 1991.

As you are aware, International Year of Chemistry 2011 (IYC 2011) is celebrated all over the world to commemorate the achievements of chemistry, and its contributions to humankind. It aims to raise awareness of chemistry among the general public and to attract young people into the field, as well as to highlight the role of chemistry in solving global problems.

Departments of Chemistry of various colleges in Kerala have conducted some kickoff events in the month of February and March 2011 in connection with IYC 2011. Apart from giving full support to the planning and conduct of such programmes, ACT has also organized some programmes in its own.  Following the motivational suggestions from Dr. C.T.S. NAIR, Dr. C.G. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, Dr. M. P. PARAMESWARAN,  Dr R.V.G. MENON and Dr. T.S. ANIRUDHAN, we are planning to organize more programmes aiming at inspiring the general public,  young researchers, students of colleges and schools to strengthen and popularize chemistry.

Academy of Chemistry Teachers hosts a meeting to discuss and finalize future programmes of IYC 2011 in Kerala, on 5th May 2011 (Thursday). The meeting will begin at 10.00 am at the department of Chemistry, University College, Trivandrum and  Dr. C.G. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR has kindly agreed to chair the session.

We invite all who are interested in this endeavor, and all who can help us in making the effort fruitful, to the meeting for their active participation and support. We request you to attend the meeting and share your ideas and plans for formulating future programmes for celebrating IYC 2011. Let us work together for a better tomorrow. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
