The Finnish Chemical Society (= Suomalaisten Kemistien Seura in this context) invited a dozen international chemists from the metropolitan area to discuss their needs and wishes regarding activities (networking, company visits, events, excursions, English-language content of Kemia- magazine, etc.).
The meeting took place on Thursday 26 September 2024 at the House of Science (Tieteiden talo) in Helsinki.
Since the event, Kemia-magazine has started to publish articles in English, initially 1-2 articles per month.
Events and communications in English will also be progressively increased to cater for this type of readership. Read more below.
