Talent

Talent is the lifeblood of the chemical sciences.

But how do we inspire, nurture, promote and protect it? Where will we find the chemists of the future? And what action is required to ensure we give the best people the greatest opportunity to make a positive difference?

On this page you can find our perspectives on a range of issues related to Talent, including research reports, campaigning materials, and a list of our policy positions and engagement activities.

Struggling to talk?

Bullying and harassment can be difficult to talk about – especially within your own workplace. That is why we have launched a support line for our chemical sciences community.

You might be the person targeted, a bystander, or the person accused of such behaviours – whatever your experience of bullying and harassment in the workplace, we are here to support you.

Re-thinking recognition: Science prizes for the modern world

This report is the result of an independent review of our recognition programmes. Our aim in commissioning this review was to ensure that our recognition portfolio continues to deliver the maximum impact for chemical scientists, chemistry and society.

Is publishing in the chemical sciences gender biased?

We have carried out the first in-depth gender analysis of each stage of the publication process within the chemical sciences community.

Breaking the barriers

Through a major survey, interviews and focus groups, we have gathered data from across the community – giving us new insights into the barriers facing women in the chemical sciences.

Grants for carers

With our Grants for Carers, you can apply for up to £1,000 per year to help you attend a chemistry-related meeting, conference or workshop or a professional development event.

Assistance Grants

Financial assistance to help chemists who require additional support to attend professional events
