Chemists Without Borders is a non-governmental organization involved in international development work designed to solve humanitarian problems through chemistry and related activities. As a public benefit, non-profit organization, the primary goals of Chemists Without Borders include:
- providing affordable medicines and vaccines to those who need them most
- providing clean water through water purification technologies
- supporting sustainable energy technologies
- encouraging open access to scholarly chemistry research articles throughout the world
- advocating a better understanding of chemistry through education
Chemists Without Borders was founded in 2004 by Bego Gerber and Steve Chambreau as a result of a letter that Gerber sent to the editor of Chemical and Engineering News in September 2004.
