ICM Shines at the 34th CCS Congress: A Celebration of Excellence and Engagement

The 34th Chinese Chemical Society (CCS) Congress was held in Guangzhou, China, June 15-18, 2024, themed “Toward Higher Quality Chemistry Research.” Industrial Chemistry & Materials (ICM) participated the congress and hosted several notable activities, including the 2023 Outstanding Reviewer Awards Ceremony and a “Meet the Editor” session.

2023 Outstanding Reviewer Awards Ceremony

Professor Gill Reid, President of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), presented certificates to the invited outstanding reviewers of RSC journals. ICM honored 38 outstanding reviewers for their exceptional contributions to the journal in 2023. Among them were Dr. Yanbin Fan (Dow Chemical China Investment Co Ltd, China) and Dr. Gang Feng (Nanchang University, China), who attended the event in person. This recognition underscores the crucial role that reviewers play in maintaining the high standards of ICM, ensuring the publication of impactful and rigorous research.

“Meet the Editor” Session

The “Meet the Editor” session was a vibrant and engaging event which provided an invaluable opportunity for attendees to interact directly with key figures from the ICM Editorial team. Take this opportunity, the Editorial Office of ICM communicated with Professor Gill Reid, ICM Associate Editor Professor Quanhong Yang, RSC Publisher Dr. Jeanne Andres, and Executive Editor Dr. Richard Kelly. They engaged in deep discussions about the journal’s current developments and future directions, reflecting ICM’s commitment to advancing the field of industrial chemistry.

Engaging Activities and Lucky Draw

To show appreciation for the continued support from the academic community, ICM organized a special lucky draw. Participants had the chance to win custom ICM memorabilia, which added excitement and a sense of community to the event. In addition, the booth attracted a large number of audiences who participated in a popular check-in photo activity. This allowed attendees to capture memorable moments and demonstrate their support for our journal. The enthusiastic participation highlighted the strong engagement and interest in ICM among the attendees.
