Message from the Dean

The College of Chemical Sciences of Institute of Chemistry Ceylon is committed to excell in teaching, research, services and public outreach. It provides a highly diverse and nourishing environment which enables students to actively participate technologically-based society and job market as top priority. The College activities are empowered through the skills and creativity of the academic staff members who have completed their PhDs in multi-disciplinary areas related to chemistry and they offer quality services in teaching and research in the areas of physical/analytical chemistry, organic, inorganic chemistry and biochemistry/molecular biology. Therefore, the college has a dynamic, vibrant and highly stimulating teaching and research environment which is achieved through a blend of high quality academic staff members who are committed to learning and scientific discovery. The range of courses reflects the ‘centre stage’ that Chemistry occupies within the sciences and many of these courses facilitate our students to pursue postgraduate studies in abroad or to gain wide range of career opportunities available to Chemistry graduates. The College also offers Diploma in Laboratory Technology Programme (DLTC) to provide middle level technical expertise which involves chemical analysis and research as it is a pressing need for students who cannot enter the university. I am also proud of our current students and our alumni as some of their achievements are highlighted in previous newsletters or in the journal, ‘Chemistry in Sri Lanka’. I invite you to join us in our journey to continually strive for excellence in teaching, learning, scientific discovery and transformative knowledge translation.

Prof.(Mrs.) P. A. Paranagama, Dean, College of Chemical Sciences

Message from the Rector

Knowledge is becoming a key resource in the world today due to which highly competent professionals and graduates, especially in the field of such a fundamental science as Chemistry, are much sought after and highly valued. The challenge that we have taken up at the College of Chemical Sciences, is to generate highly skilled professionals who are not only competent and knowledgeable, but also innovative and have the capacity to generate novel ideas that benefit society. To meet this challenge, we have brought together the best and brightest academics staff from various universities, businesses, and government agencies, as well as research institutions. It is our intention to light and tend to the flame of inspiration and scientific learning in all students who pass through our doors, so that they would go out and change the world for a better future. We look forward to welcoming you to the College of Chemical Sciences, Institute of Chemistry Ceylon and wish you success in your academic studies. My warmest wishes,

Prof. Sujatha Hewage, Honorary Rector, College of Chemical Sciences


Institute of Chemistry CeylonThe Institute of Chemistry Ceylon is the successor to the Chemical Society of Ceylon (founded 1941) and was established in the year 1971 for the general advancement of the science and practice of chemistry. It is a not-for profit organization, learned society catering to the Chemical Sciences as well as a professional, qualifying and examination body looking after and responsible for the maintenance and enhancement of the profession of Chemistry in Sri Lanka. It is the oldest such body in any branch of the basic sciences in Sri Lanka. The Golden Jubilee of the Institute was held in 1991 & the Diamond Jubilee in 2001. The 75th Anniversary falls on 25th January 2016.

The Institute of Chemistry Ceylon was incorporated by Act of Parliament No. 15 of 1972 with the following aims and objectives: -

(a) to promote and advance the science of Chemistry and its applications in Sri Lanka.(b) to advise the Government, and give counsel to public corporations, local bodies and other

institutions on all matters connected with the application of Chemistry to the progress anddevelopment of the country.

(c) to promote the acquisition, dissemination and interchange of chemical knowledge by:- providing a forum for the presentation of original communications and discussions thereon; establishing and maintaining libraries; publishing matters of interest to the profession of chemistry & any other means;

(d) to promote education in chemistry at all levels;(e) to promote, encourage and foster original research in Chemistry(f) to assess the eligibility of candidates for admission to the various grades of membership;(g) to conduct or provide for the conduct of the qualifying examinations for all grades of

membership of the Institute and to promote, provide or approve programmes of study for such examinations ;

(h) to conduct or provide for the conduct of examinations for the award of diplomas, certificates and other distinctions, in such branches of Chemistry as the Institute may from time to time, deem necessary and to prescribe, approve or provide programmes of study for such examinations;

(i) to ensure the maintenance of high standards in the professional activities and the general conduct of its members ;

(j) to establish liaison with other scientific and professional organizations ;(k) to establish and enhance the status of the profession of Chemistry in Ceylon ;(l) to take any other measures that may be necessary for the attainment of all or any of the

objectives of the Institute.

The Institute was declared as an approved charity by an Order published by the Hon’ble Minister of Finance in the Government Gazette No. 121 of 26.12.80. Donations made by any institution or individual to the Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, are therefore deductible from the assessable income of such institution or individual for income tax purposes.
