The ASAN/YACN is organized to realize a smooth
exchange of academic and social information among
young analytical chemists, by succeeding activity
of the 21st Century Committee. Organizing
committee of the YACN consist of at least seven
representatives from each of the youth
communities of seven regional branches of JSAC,
and one chairman of the network. The
organizing committee just starts working

A brief history about the JSAC/YASN
1991 A 21st Century Fund (Fund for Young
Analytical Scientists) had been raised by JSAC
for activating young analytical scientists as a
time-limited fund during the 20th century.
1992 A committee named 21st Century Committee
had been organized for planning and steering the
21st Century Fund. The 21st Century
Committee had been active in a) organizing
academic sessions in JSAC annual meetings and
forums under the joint sponsorship of the
executive committees, b) organizing academic
sessions as pre-conferences of the JSAC annual
meetings and forums,
6
c) organizing academic sessions as
pre-conferences of the JSAC annual meetings and
forums or a summer seminar, for discussing a
variety of problems concerning analytical
sciences, d) supporting to organize committees
of young analytical chemists of the JSAC regional
branches, e) making networks of young
analytical chemists of JSAC such as preparing
mailing lists and a homepage, f) co-editing the
special issue entitled for Young Generation in
Analytical Sciences on ANALYTICAL SCIENCES,
volume 17 (2001) January, and so on. The
21st Century Committee had been supported by much
of voluntarily works by young analytical
scientists of JSAC.
