Water Science Forum

The Water Science Forum (WSF) is one of the Royal Society of Chemistry'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.

Scope

The WSF focuses on the application of chemical sciences in the management of the water cycle and the impact of these activities on the natural environment. WSF attracts members, and thus expertise, from many sectors within the water community.

Aim

To promote the professional and scientific interests of members and to advise on and influence, in the public interest, the application of chemistry in water-related industries.

Objectives

• To keep members up-to-date with current developments within the water sector and to promote Continuous Professional Development.
• To provide a forum for the debate of professional and scientific matters on water-related issues within the RSC and other relevant organisations.
• To provide specialist technical advice on water-related issues to the RSC and to assist the RSC in presenting a corporate view to national and local government on matter of interest to WSF members.
• To promote research, education and specialised training in all aspects of water-related chemistry, including relevant chartered status for members.  

Activities

• Organising topical meetings and conferences.
• Providing financial assistance to encourage professional development.
• Contributing to consultation documents from the UK and EU.  

Community

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