International Younger Chemists Network (IYCN)

We believe that celebrating our differences and what makes us unique, including, but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, tribe, caste, socio-economic status, thinking and communication styles, will help us to create a more sustainable and inclusive scientific community, and world. As IYCN strives to achieve its mission and vision, and make an impact on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we will rely on our diverse membership and essential partner organizations to bring their unique skills, views, and experiences. Education is accomplished through conference fellowship awards, symposia organization (both physical and virtual), as well as bringing increased awareness through social media routes. In the realm of collaboration, we believe that working directly with IUPAC (see the Memorandum of Understanding) and the interdisciplinary nature of the divisions and committees we can begin to have an influential voice for young chemists.
