Professional Links

CSE enjoys excellent relations with national institutions whose responsibilities are in line with its objectives and hence, many of the CSE activities are, therefore, planned in consultation with many of these institutions. Indeed, the Society took the initiative in establishing the Federation of African Societies of Chemistry (FASC) together with sisterly associations of other African countries recently here in Ethiopia. In accomplishing that the Society had benefited from its international links.

	The Department of Chemistry, AAU and other Departments of Chemistry across the nation;
	The Ethiopian Science and Technology Commission;
	The Ministry of Education;
	The Ministry of Mines and Energy;
