2015 RSC Elections

The results of the 2015 Royal Society of Chemistry elections are as follows:

The president elect, Sir John Holman, was elected with 58.4% of the vote, 3,930 votes. Richard Catlow received 2,802 votes.

Sir John said: “I’ve been an enthusiast for chemistry from the age of about 10, and my enthusiasm is undiminished today, so imagine how honoured I am to be elected President of the world’s premier chemistry community. There should be no limit to what the RSC can achieve in advancing chemical science in industry, academia and the public realm.”

These results will be formally announced at our Annual General Meeting in Burlington House on 8 July 2015 at 5pm.
