The RSC was a principle sponsor of the recent 2010 US-China Workshop on Analytical Chemistry held at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN, USA.
The 2-day conference sought to forge better ties between analytical chemists working in the two countries, and to promote the well-being of the discipline of Analytical Chemistry in the future. Over 30 prominent analytical chemists from both countries in several working groups to address the following issues:
- Literature and Publication in Analytical Chemistry
- Research Trends in Analytical Chemistry
- Infrastructure and Instrumentation trends
- Education and the Graduate Experience
The groups made suggestions to both the National Science Foundation(US) and the Chinese National Science Foundation. Thanks to the RSC and JAAS for supporting the future of Analytical Chemistry.
