A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step

After 1000 issues of the journal, our Editorial Board Chairs share their views on the past, present and future of Chemistry—A European Journal . The success of the journal is associated with the creativity and the work of its authors. Like all great journals there is increasing involvement of Asia and the Americas, too, in addition to the ongoing strengths of European chemistry. While the Journal tends to emphasize the fundamental research of the chemistry being published, some of the cutting‐edge contributions also have an applied nature that underpins the industrial innovation of society.
