2011 is the International Year of Chemistry. The resolution adopted by the United Nations has proposed that the achievements of this science must be celebrated and its contribution to Humanity must be highlighted. The University of Oviedo, through the Faculty of Chemistry and in collaboration with the Association of Chemists of Asturias, is developing a programme of activities which will be managed by the Transfer of Research Results Office belonging to the Vice-rector's office for Research.
