Food Group

The Food Group of the RSC, which was founded in 1974, has over 800 members in government, universities, research organisations and industry. The aims of the group are:

• 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.    

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