Spectroscopy and Dynamics Group

The Spectroscopy and Dynamics Group (SDG) exists to promote the interests of molecular spectroscopists, photochemists and reaction dynamicists, especially those involved in high resolution studies (energy, spatial and/or time) of contemporary problems in chemical physics. Mechanisms for promoting such interests include organising and sponsoring topical meetings, circulating relevant information and ensuring that the interests of its members are adequately represented in the activities of the Royal Society of Chemistry and other bodies. As a constituent group of the Association of British Spectroscopists (ABS), the SDG is represented at their meetings and individual members of the Group are automatically members of the ABS. 

Membership of the Group is open to all members of the RSC: members receive an annual newsletter and (more interestingly) the possibility of preferential arrangements, bursaries etc. for attendance at Group meetings. 

The Group offers one main residential meeting and one or more one-day meetings each year: young scientists are encouraged to give presentations at these meetings.
