The
Department participated in the 2nd Singapore-China Collaborative
and Cooperative Chemistry Symposium (SCCCCS-2) from April 7-8, 2004, graciously
hosted by Soochow University.
In the larger context, the SCCCCS series was an effort by NUS-Chemistry that
was intended to serve as a platform to engage Chinese universities that included
Soochow University, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Fudan University,
Zhejiang University, Nanjing University and Nanjing University of Science &
Technology for mutually beneficial academic activities.
The first symposium hosted by NUS-Chemistry in March 2002 saw participation
by all of these universities. Soochow University offered to hold the second
symposium and invited the aforementioned universities to participate.
In the present trip, the Department's delegation visited Nanjing University
as well just before the Symposium.
The NUS-Chemistry delegation comprised fifteen members and included the following:
