About Us
The Chemical Structure Association Trust (CSA Trust) is an
internationally recognized, registered charity which promotes education,
research and development in the field of storage, processing and
retrieval of information about chemical structures, reactions and
compounds. Many students and researchers world-wide, who work in this
area, have benefited from the Trust Awards and Grants programmes to
further their research work.
The Trust has extended its educational activities through the production
of a Newsletter and Website, and through the organisation of conferences
and training. These activities were formerly undertaken by the Chemical
Structure Association. In 2003, the activities of the former CSA were successfully
incorporated within the Trust so now there is just one organisation,
which can better serve the chemical information community. The Trust is
managed by the Chairman Dr Andreas Barth, assisted by the Board of
Trustees, many of whom are world experts in specialised areas of
chemical structure handling.
The Newsletters, including
the current issue, are now freely available to everyone, thanks to the
generosity of our donors. Conferences and meetings are arranged in co-operation with
other organisations, and the CSA Trust provides a forum for advice and
discussion on chemical structure handling. The Trust welcomes both
corporate and individual donations.
If you have any feedback about the
new site please contact us.
We are very grateful to all our Corporate Donors, who enable us to
continue to make Awards and Grants which benefit students and
researchers world-wide:
