The Mexican Chemical Society and the Mexican Academy of Sciences have been working on a program known as �Sundays of Science.� This program is held in different cities in public places in collaboration with several universities.  We need to work on the education of our kids and young people to improve their  knowledge of the sciences, particularly chemistry. The general public needs to be aware of the risks and the benefits that are involved in the responsible use of chemistry. In Mexico there are now also more undergraduate and graduate programs in chemistry and related fields that had been accredited with high standards. This has increased the number of students involved in science and technology.In addition, the chemical industry and universities in Mexico have been working in a collaborative way to develop new technologies and new products. The industry and the government provide funding to support research projects. Moreover, there have been international agreements to increase collaboration in education and research among universities and governments, but we need to enhance our efforts on this front in order to promote a global chemistry community.
