Analytical Science Community

The Analytical Science Community brings together members from across industry and academia with scientific and professional interests in analytical science. The Community allows members to stay informed of developments in the field, provides a forum for analytical chemists and scientists to exchange information and ideas, promotes skills and education in analytical chemistry.

We achieve this by:

• Organising an annual Analytical Research Forum
• Supporting community-led scientific meetings and workshops
• Recognising outstanding contributions to analytical science through our Prizes and Awards programme.
• Running the annual Schools’ Analyst competition with support from the Analytical Science Community Regions and funded by the Analytical Chemistry Trust Fund
• Producing Technical Briefs through our Analytical Methods Committee. These are published in Analytical Methods to keep the community up to date with technical information and developments in analytical science.

You can keep up to date with all our activities through our newsletter Analytical Matters.
