Happy 75th birthday, CHIMIA! Switzerland is a traditional powerhouse in the analytical sciences and has been at the forefront of X-ray and magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging, mass spectrometry, chemical sensing, microfluidics, separation science, environmental trace analysis and bioanalytics, to name but a few examples. The instrumentation developed and the scientific insights obtained within these fields have had a profound impact on our understanding of the world and brought tremendous advantages to society as a whole. Of course, most natural sciences absolutely rely on the routine use of analytical tools to make progress. The 2020 IUPAC survey states that as much as 50% of the top ten emerging technologies in Chemistry are related to the measurement sciences, including nanosensors, rapid diagnostics for testing, liquid gating, and aggregationinduced emission.[1] A sizable community has made the invention and further development of analytical methodologies and their practical application a core aspect of their professional passion. The Division of Analytical Sciences (DAS) of the Swiss Chemical Society (SCS) counts over 500 members and is the place where analytical science in Switzerland finds a united voice. It is a highly diverse division because analytical science has become a core component of many disciplines including chemistry, biology, health science, environmental science, food science, and process control. The DAS unites actors from traditional universities and universities of applied sciences, national research institutes and centers, and industry organizations. It is a stimulating and diverse environment to be part of. However, this diversity also makes it a challenge to forge a sense of community. This latter point is a primary motivation behind many activities of the DAS and the SCS as a whole. The core tasks of the DAS are performed by a board that consists of an active group of more than a dozen representatives From left to right: Eric Bakker, Davide Bleiner and Ksenia Groh. from a wide range of scientific organizations and fields. The main missions of the DAS team involve networking, education, dissemination and recognition. This column is authored by the current DAS president, Eric Bakker (University of Geneva), and the two newest additions to the DAS board, Davide Bleiner (Empa) and Ksenia Groh (Eawag). While Walter Giger just in 2017 recounted the history of the DAS on the occasion of its 25th anniversary,[2] we aim here to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing us in the future.

Perspectives and Future Directions of the Division of Analytical Sciences of the Swiss Chemical Society
