47th Brazilian Chemical Society Annual Meeting – 47RA.SBQ

17 Jul 2024

The decades-long partnership between RSC and the Brazilian Chemical Society (SBQ) continues to thrive. At least year’s SBQ Annual Meeting, we renewed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoU) between the societies. This year, Beth attended the 47^th Annual SBQ meeting, where she met with the local community to emphasize our commitment to Open Access and our dedication to lessening barriers to publishing and reading articles in our journals. Additionally, an agreement with the government funding agency (CAPES) is underway.

In recent years, the RSC and SBQ have worked together to support Early Career researchers. In 2024, we celebrated the fourth annual RSC-SBQ Young Researchers Award. This award was a common initiative between the RSC Brazil office and a committee representing early career scientists, Younger Researchers of the Brazilian Chemical Society (JP-SBQ). The JP-SBQ is comprised of graduate students, post-docs, and early-stage industrial researchers. Their mission is to promote the representation of Brazilian younger researchers in the national and international scientific community, which aligns with RSC’s own priorities in the region. This year, we recognize not only the winners, but an exceptionally strong candidate pool for the award.

Winners of the RSC-SBQ Young Researchers Award

Left to right: Prof Dr Vanessa Nascimento (UFF-RJ, JP-SBQ), Dr Laura Fisher (RSC), Airton Germano Bispo Junior (UNICAMP-SP), Rubens Lucas de Freitas Filho (UFMG-MG) and Prof. Dr. Edson Anjos (UFMS-MS, JP-SBQ). Winners were each eligible for £1800 to advance their careers.

Alongside Beth, the RSC was also represented at the SBQ annual meeting by the executive editor of RSC Advances, Laura Fisher. Laura gave an engaging presentation about publication pathways and the Open Access movement at RSC, including an excellent discussion on support for the local community during the transition period. She also was able to meet with many researchers and students at the exhibition booth, as well as Brazilian board members from various RSC journals.

Left: Laura giving her presentation. Right: Profs Drs Celia Ronconi (UFF-RJ, board member for Dalton Transactions, FRSC), Brenno Neto (UnB-DF, board member for RSC Advances), Marcia Mesko (UFPel-RS, board member for JAAS), Giovanna Machado (CETENE-PE), Laura Fisher and Elizabeth Magalhaes (RSC).

At this year’s meeting, the outgoing SBQ President, Prof. Dr Shirley Nakagaki (UFPR-PR, Editorial Board member for RSC Advances), empowered her successor as her term expired in 2024. She spoke highly of Prof. Dr. Rossimiriam Freitas (UFMG-MG) as incoming SBQ president, highlighting how the society is supporting diversity and inclusion at the highest levels of leadership.

Prof. Dr Shirley Nakagaki (UFPR-PR, Editorial Board member for RSC Advances) welcomes new SBQ President, Prof. Dr Rossimiriam Freitas (UFMG-MG).

2024 RSC Prizes Announced

21 Jun 2024

Recently, the Royal Society of Chemistry announced the 2024 winners of the Research & Innovation Prizes, Volunteer Recognition Prizes, Horizon Prizes, and the Inclusion & Diversity Prize.

This year’s prizes are a true celebration of excellence in all its forms across the chemical sciences. We’ve once again recognised individuals from all career stages and various backgrounds, and this year we announce the first winners of our Technical Excellence Prizes – celebrating technicians and technical roles as invaluable members of the chemical sciences community.

We have also expanded our Apprentice Prizes to allow for more awardees, and introduced the new Innovation Through Partnership Prize, which celebrates partnerships across all sectors, including government, industry, education, research institutions and the third sector.

Collaboration is essential to great science, and groups, teams and collaborations feature heavily in the line-up of winners. Our team prize winners range from very large teams to very small ones, across sectors, countries, and institutions, comprising individuals in a wide variety of roles.

Click here to view the 2024 Prizes digital gallery and read more about our winners and their work, then post your congratulations through our commenting tool on the individual prize pages.

We have also published a web collection of our winners’ previously published work across RSC journals, which you can click here to read

All our winners have made worthy contributions to the chemical sciences community and to our planet. We extend our warmest congratulations to them all!

We are proud to announce the winners of this year’s Certificates of Undergraduate Excellence, the Royal Society of Chemistry’ recognition program for university students in North America. This is the first group of award winners after the award was relaunched in 2022 to focus on the achievements of undergraduate students in the chemical sciences. The recipients were selected by their departments for their exceptional dedication, performance, and engagement in coursework and research.

77 students received the Certificate of Undergraduate Excellence this year from 53 institutions across North America, and each winner will receive (in addition to the certificate) their department’s choice of:

RSC Affiliate membership
A printed edition of the Merck Index
An invitation to join a publishing training session provided by RSC journal editorial teams

RSC Desktop Seminars with Brazilian Chemical Society Organic Chemistry Division

04 Aug 2020

RSC Desktop Seminars in Organic Chemistry with the Brazilian Chemical Society 2020 are an initiative from the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Brazilian Chemical Society to bring cutting-edge research directly to you!

Covid-19 has exposed us to a new reality where the virtual world is much more important than before. In order to keep our students engaged at the frontiers of Organic Chemistry, we have organized a weekly webinar series that is a joint collaboration between the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the Organic Chemistry Division of the Brazilian Chemical Society (SBQ). It is an alternative way to share work and interact with potential collaborators.

The sections will alternate between Brazilian and international speakers, in some cases with the opportunity for a selected Brazilian early career researcher to engage with the audience by presenting their recent independent career developments.

Program 24 September 2020 | 11:30 (BRT) | 15:30 (BST)

11:30 Introductions and welcome
11:35 Early Career presentation with Q&A
