  Last updated on 26 Oct., 2004      

• Invited 3 member societies, Israel, Mendeleyev Russia and Mongolia, to join the FACS.
• Established the FACS web-site (http://www.facs-as.org).
• Established the award of“Distinguished Contribution to Advancement in Chemical Education” for the FACS.

Our Society is one of the biggest non-profit organizations in Taiwan. We have been serving to promote the image of local chemical communities and strengthen the relationship between academia and industry, now we are moving further to help the chemistry departments in the universities to show their R&D capability and education quality. Furthermore, we are currently engaging in a project entitled “Chemistry Department Evaluation Program (CDEP)”, aiming to assessing the capability of 25 chemistry departments in Taiwan.

In addition to the current duties for the chemical communities in Taiwan, as an active member of the FACS, we always feel grateful to participate in the FACS activities. We are more than happy to share our experiences and enhance the communication among the FACS members. 

Here are the congratulation messages for the 25th anniversary celebration of the FACS from Taipei.

Over the past 25 years, the FACS has been the most representative chemical organization in Asia. The FACS served as a platform where the members of the societies can exchange their ideas. In the future the FACS will continue to be a lighthouse for the chemical technology development in Asia. Congratulations!	Dr. Johnsee Lee FACS Past President (1999~2001)
The Chemical Society Located in Taipei extends its warmest congratulations to the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. We and the local chemical communities in Taiwan will continue conducting activities with an international scope in mind.	Dr. Chung-Ching Wu CSLT President (2003~2004)
