About
In 1960, J.E. Courtois chaired an international meeting of carbohydrate chemists at Gif-sur-Yvette, Paris. Other similar meetings followed, every two years or so, until there was felt a need to form a Steering Committee (in 1965) to oversee such gatherings. The first actual meeting of the Steering Committee took place in 1970 in Paris – a constitution was established and several resolutions passed.
