Responsible Conduct in Chemistry Research and Practice (Hardback) | Released: 05 Jul 2019

The development of Responsible Conduct in Chemistry Research and Practice: Global Perspectives was both inspired and informed by a symposium called The Interface of Chemical and Biological Sciences International Disarmament Efforts held in 2015 at the 249th ACS National Meeting & Exposition
in Denver, Colorado, USA. Organized by the ACS Committee on International Activities (IAC) and with co-sponsorship from the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry and nominal support from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the event highlighted educational, policy and
practice dimensions of advancing the peaceful application of chemistry worldwide.
In addition to the symposium speakers, the editors invited several other colleagues in the global chemistry enterprise to contribute papers furthering the editorial center of the present volume.
