Preface The development of “Responsible Conduct in Chemistry Research and Practice: Global Perspectives” was both inspired and informed by a symposium “The Interface of Chemical and Biological Sciences International Disarmament Efforts” held in 2015 at the 249th ACS National Meeting & Exposition in Denver, Colorado, USA. Organized by the ACS Committee on International Activities (IAC) and with co-sponsorship from the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry and nominal support from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the event highlighted educational, policy and practice dimensions of advancing the peaceful application of chemistry worldwide. In addition to the symposium speakers, we also invited several other colleagues in the global chemistry enterprise to contribute papers furthering the editorial center of the present volume. Our intended readership is all chemists, chemistry educators and chemical engineers, particularly those with an interest in the responsible global practice of chemistry, science and human rights, scientific mobility, and international relations. We extend our collective gratitude for the efforts of the authors who brought their volunteer time and talent to the preparation of their manuscripts and to the reviewers for their support and participation in a rigorous peer review process. We also thank our colleagues at ACS Books for their enduring and professional handling of manuscript development, submission and refinement.
