The Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS) is a professional association representing chemical societies of countries and territories in the Asia-Pacific region whose membership consists of individual qualified chemists.[1] The group was founded in 1979.[2]
FACS works to promote the advancement and practice of chemistry and the interests of professional chemists in the Asia Pacific. It also aims to server as a link between chemists in the region, and promote interactions with international chemists outside the Asia-Pacific region.[3] Apart from fostering small meeting and workshops in the region, FACS also holds an international chemical congress, the Asian Chemical Congress (AsiaChem), at various cities in the region every two years on odd years.[4]
