About the Royal Society of Chemistry
The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) is the largest professional body in Europe for advancing the chemical sciences and can trace its origins back to the establishment of The Chemical Society in 1841, in Burlington House, UK. In accordance with its first Royal Charter, granted in 1848, the RSC continues to pursue the aims of the advancement of chemistry as a science, the dissemination of chemical knowledge, and the development of chemical applications. The key role that the chemical sciences will play in the search for solutions to challenges which face humanity in the 21st Century, from finding cures for diseases to building a sustainable environment makes the need for such an advocate of beneficial scientific progress as strong as ever. Over a century and a half on from its beginnings, the RSC has a global membership of over 46,000 and is actively involved in the spheres of education, qualifications and professional conduct. It runs conferences and meetings for chemical scientists, industrialists and policy makers, at both national and local level. It is a major publisher of scientific books and journals, the majority of which are held in the Library and Information Centre. In all its work, the RSC is objective and impartial, and it is recognized throughout the world as an authoritative voice of chemistry and chemists.
