Working Group Cooperation
Contact and regular exchange are maintained with the senior chemists of the American Chemical Society (ACS; Robert Yokley), the Swiss Chemical Society (SCG; David Spichiger), and the Association of Austrian Chemists (GÖCh; Walter Schneider). The Italian Chemical Society (SCI) and the Société Chimique de France (SCF), and probably also the Royal Chemical Society (RSC), have senior chemist subgroups; possibly the Portuguese Chem.Soc. does too.
