Introduction

The annual Analytical Research Forum (ARF) is the premier Analytical Science meeting of the RSC. The meeting is primarily for early-stage analytical science researchers (industrial scientists, PhD students and postdoctoral fellows) to present their latest results in the context of the wider analytical science community. 

The programme featured both poster sessions and lectures, including oral presentations from students, medal winners and international leaders in the field. 

Programme

As in previous years, the programme continued to:

• Review research in chemical analysis throughout the UK and Ireland
• Include keynote presentations from experts in their field
• Bring together the chemical analysis research community and encourage the development of networks and collaborations between individuals 

Networking

One of the valuable benefits of attending ARF is the opportunity to network with contemporary researchers who cover a wide range of analytical techniques and experience. Networking takes place through interactive poster sessions and a lively social programme.
