2011 has been named International Year of Chemistry by the United Nations. The date coincides with the centenary of Marie Curie winning the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
A range of activities is being planned on a national and international basis to support the Year. It gives the industry a welcome chance to promote the positive nature of its activity.
