Many prominant public figures in interwar Lithuania were chemists who held high positions. Professor Antanas Pur\u0117nas, former secretary of the University of Lithuania in 1933 – 1938, then rector in 1940 \u2013 1941. Ignas Kon\u010dius, who, after the return of Vilnius region back to Lithuania in 1939, had the task of taking over the management of Vilnius University. Professor Kazys Dauk\u0161as, who in 1940 took over the leadership of Vilnius University’s Faculty of Chemistry, and many others.
\nThe Lithuanian Chemical Society was origanally founded in 1959. The first Chair of the Society was academician Juozas Matulis, a long-term Chair of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences (1946 \u2013 1984). During 1960 \u2013 1982 the Society was headed by Professor Kazys Dauk\u0161as from Vilnius University, and from 1982 to 1988 \u2013 by Professor Antanas Kaminskas, the Director of Thermal Insulation Institute. Later, the activities of the Society ceased.
\nAfter the restoration of Lithuania\u2019s independence, the Lithuanian Chemical Society was re-established in 2017. Associate Professor Rimantas Vaitkus from Vilnius University was elected as a Chair. From 2022, a Chair of LChD is Professor Almira Ramanavi\u010dien\u0117 from Vilnius University.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
