Pacifichem 2010: Excerpts from a Student's Diary

摘要

As one of the seven sponsoring societies of Pacifichem, the NZIC holds a privileged position among the many chemical societies represented at the Congress. The NZIC has a permanent representative on the organizing committee (currently Prof Rob Smith - University of Otago) and the NZIC President is invited to attend the Opening Ceremony in an official capacity and then a dinner on the final night of the conference with the or-ganizing committee and the Presidents and Chief Executives of the other six sponsoring societies (ACS, CIC, JCS, CCS, KCS, RACI). At Pacifichem 2010, the NZIC President also attended a meeting of the Asian Chemi-cal Editorial Society (ACES), the governing body of Chemistry - An Asian Journal, of which NZIC became a member in 2008,the first time an NZIC representative had been able to attend an ACES meeting.
