European Chemical Society plaques to recognise continent's chemistry landmarks

The European Chemical Society (EuCheMS) has introduced a scheme to honour locations in Europe that played a significant role in the history of chemistry by placing plaques that will ‘reinforce the sense of belonging of European chemists’. The programme was created to coexist with similar schemes run by national chemical societies, which EuChemS says may ‘overlook the European, and even the international dimension, of the chemical sciences’.
