Faraday Discussions documents a long-established series of Faraday Discussion meetings which provide a unique international forum for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. 

The papers presented are published in the Faraday Discussion volume together with a record of the discussion contributions made at the meeting. Faraday Discussions therefore provide an important record of current international knowledge and views in the field concerned.

This page contains examples of an introductory lecture, a paper presented at a Discussion meeting, the discussion generated and the concluding remarks. All papers detailed on this paper are free-to-access for all: just follow the relevant links!

The Introductory Lecture is presented at the beginning of the Discussion meeting by an international expert, and gives an authoritative overview of the subject being discussed.

A Faraday Discussion paper  contains new and previously unpublished research work which makes a significant contribution within the scope of the Discussion meeting.

Each paper is presented for 5 minutes at the Discussion meeting.  There then follows an extended discussion period, which is recorded for the final volume.  

After all papers have been presented at the meeting, an international expert summarises the papers and resulting discussion in the concluding remarks
