Société Chimique de France 
Formation 1857 Type Learned society Headquarters Paris Location France Official languages French Website http://www.sfc.fr The Société Chimique de France (SCF) is a learned society and professional association founded in 1857 to represent the interests of French chemists in a variety of ways in local, national and international contexts.[1]
Contents
History
This learned society was modeled after the British Chemical Society, which was the precursor of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Like its British counterpart, the French association sought to foster the communication of new ideas and facts throughout France and across international borders. [2]
Activities
Support for the Bulletin de la Société Chimique de Paris began in 1858.
In the 21st century, the society has become a member of ChemPubSoc Europe, which is an organization of 16 European chemical societies. This European consortium was established in the late 1990s as many chemical journals owned by national chemical societies were amalgamated.[3]
Prizes and awards
The society acknowledges individual achievement with prizes and awards, including:
- Louis Ancel Prize
- Raymond Berr Prize
-
- 1978: Jean-Marie Lehn[4]
- Lavoisier Medal of the Société Chimique de France is awarded to a person or institution in order to distinguish the work or actions which have enhanced the perceived value of chemistry in society.[5]
