The Northeastern Section Younger Chemists Committee (NSYCC) is an important activity of the Northeastern Section (NESACS), which encompasses Eastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire. NSYCC organizes many events for younger chemists in the region, such as the Northeastern Student Chemistry Research Conference (NSCRC), a free career fair, and social gatherings. NSYCC is very proud to be part of the very successful annual German Exchange Program between the GDCh-JCF and NESACS. Since 2001, a group of younger chemists has traveled across the Atlantic Ocean to participate in a week-long program that consists of visits to local university research laboratories, tours to industrial facilities, and presentations at regional research conferences. Foreign career, research, and educational opportunities are emphasized throughout the week.
