The chemical sciences are vital for the wellbeing of our world. By working with chemistry on a daily basis, you contribute to advances that are changing lives, and that will enable enormous social and technological change in the future.
Around the world, we invest in educating future generations of scientists. We raise and maintain standards. We partner with industry and academia, promoting collaboration and innovation. We advise governments on policy. And we promote the talent, information and ideas that lead to great advances in science.
We are a non-profit organisation with a reputation strengthened over 176 years. We exist to support you – for the benefit of science and humanity.
Your work depends on access to the right resources. We use our expertise and position as a society publisher to provide access to cutting-edge chemical science content, through books, journals and databases that cover core disciplines, related fields and emerging topics.
As a professional body, we provide an internationally recognised framework for career development, share resources and run events that allow interdisciplinary collaboration, and set standards to help you succeed, however you work with chemistry.
Our work supports everyone working in the chemical sciences, and connects chemistry with the wider world – whether that’s by running an event that sparks a new research group, or creating resources that help more children fall in love with chemistry.
