Kenichiro Itami has been selected as CNRS Ambassador for Chemical Sciences in France! In 2019, CNRS Institute of Chemistry has initiated a program called “Ambassadors of Chemical Sciences in France”. Its ambition is to give prestigious foreign researchers an opportunity to visit a series of French laboratories active in their field. These visits not only include top-notch conferences by the ambassador, but are also a good opportunity to establish preliminary contacts and foster international collaborations for the visited French laboratories. Itami will begin a series of lectures in several French CNRS laboratories in mid-October this year.
