Food Group

The Food Group is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, in line with the RSC's strategy and charter.

Aims

• To foster an awareness of the importance of chemistry in the food chain.
• To encourage interactions between scientists and technologists engaged in food R&D.
• To help transfer such scientific research from ideas to applications.      

Activities

• The Group organises one-day symposia and longer conferences.
• Two medals, Senior and Junior, are awarded in alternate years to those who have made contributions to the development of the subject area. 

Community

We also have an online community, which is based on MyRSC, for anyone who shares our interests. 

Get Involved

We are always looking for new members who are keen to get involved and to help organise our activities. If you would like to find out more please contact the Secretary.
