Overview

Mission

Scientific/Education: Biennial scientific conference. The overarching purpose of the Society is to foster the advancement of organic chemistry through the organization of a scientific conference every two years, held alternately in locations in North America and France, on topics of organic chemistry and small molecule drug discovery. The Society is organized exclusively for educational and scientific purposes.

What it reported doing in 2025

Calendar Year 2025 was a cyclic "off year" for this organization, which is responsible for putting on a biennial scientific conference that takes place in even years, alternating between North America and France. A small amount of funds - $11,002 - were raised toward the 2026 conference - FACS XX - to be held at the University of Ottawa in Canada. Payment was made to the University of Ottawa to reserve conference space and lodging for FACS XX.
