Polish Chemical Society

The Polish Chemical Society is a professional learned society of Polish chemists founded in 1919 to represent the interests of Polish chemists on the local, national and international levels.

History
The society was founded of 118 Charter Members on 29 June 1919 on the initiative of Leon Marchlewski, Stanisław Bądzyński and Ignacy Mościcki, future President of Poland who was a chemist himself. The initial aim of the organization was to bring together Polish chemists previously working under different partitions as well as from abroad. It was founded in three Polish cities: Lwów (today Lviv in Ukraine), Kraków, and Warsaw and the first scientific meeting was organized in Warsaw on 1 November 1919 by the executive board of the society. The Polish Chemical Society initiated a series of scientific conferences as well as founded Poland's first chemistry journal Roczniki Chemii. After the Second World War, the society was reactivated in 1946 and continues its activities until today. It has 1,959 members, who work in 20 regional centres. In 2006, the Polish Chemical Society became a public benefit organization. ==Awards of the Polish Chemical Society==
