Welcome to JBCS
"Brazil is the 15th in scientific production, having surpassed many countries with a greater tradition in research and human resource formation", has been recently stated by Mr. Jorge Guimarães, the Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and evaluation of Graduate education (CAPES) President.
 
There is no doubt many graduate programs have equaled the most important international research centers in their excellence levels. The same happens in the Chemistry field. The excellence of some graduate programs is internationally recognized. If graduate schools are doing well, the same can not be said about the chemistry undergraduate level, though. The demand for chemistry courses is low and our great challenge is to show young students that the chemical career is financially and professionally worthwhile. Changing this situation should be on the Brazilian Chemical Society (SBQ) agenda.
