Société Royale de Chimie Belgique or the Belgian Royal Society of Chemistry, Walloon Royal Society of Chemistry, is a learned society and professional association headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. The society published the academic journal Bulletin des Sociétés Chimiques Belges from 1904 to 1987, before it was absorbed into the Europe-wide chemistry journals.[1] [2] Since 1983, the society also publishes the journal Chimie Nouvelle (English: New Chemistry).[3]

History

The society was founded in 1887 by Edouard Hanuise as the Association Belge des Chimistes (English: Belgian Association of Chemists). In 1904, it changed its name to Société Chimique de Belgique (English: Belgian Chemical Society) until its final name change so far in 1987 at its one-hundredth anniversary to its present name. In 1939, the society split into a French-speaking and a Dutch-speaking branch. The French-speaking branch kept the existing name (later the Société Royale de Chimie Belgique) and was still based in Brussels. The Dutch-speaking branch was founded with the name Vlaamse Chemische Vereniging and later in 1987 became Koninklijke Vlaamse Chemische Vereniging (English: Royal Flemish Chemical Society), which was based in Antwerp.[4]

Its past members includes famous chemists within the country such as Ernest Solvay, Walthère Victor Spring, Theodore Swarts, Jean Timmermans, etc.[5]
