ABOUT US
The aims of the Society are: (1) to develop and promote chemistry education and research, (2) to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas through professional publications and regular meetings, (3) to popularize chemistry, especially in schools, (4) to enhance the participation and collaboration of professional chemists in matters pertaining to national policies in curriculum development and the training of chemists, (5) to establish close relationships among chemists and other professionals engaged in chemistry-related fields of activities so as to increase the role of chemistry in national development, (6) to promote the improvement of the qualifications of members, and (7) to establish and strengthen links with other societies, national and international, which pursue similar aims.
Chemistry Newsletter
The Society began publishing a newsletter (Chemistry Newsletter) in 1984 and upgraded it to the peer-reviewed journal of the Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Ethiopia in 1987. Successive volumes of the journal have appeared regularly. The Bulletin is indexed and abstracted by the major international computerized data bases. The Bulletin has served as a medium to disseminate scientific information and findings for Ethiopian chemists as well as numerous international scientists specially those in Sub-Saharan Africa. CSE is mailing the Bulletin to all university libraries in Africa. Solutions Newsletter has been published since August 1993 and it is geared towards national readership.
