Royal Society of Chemistry

The Royal Society of Chemistry is the largest organisation in Europe for advancing the chemical sciences. Supported by a worldwide network of members and an international publishing business, activities span education, conferences, science policy and the promotion of chemistry to the public.

The RSC is committed to supporting the teaching of chemistry within the primary, secondary and post-16 phases.  It produces a number of teaching resources to enhance the teaching of the chemical sciences, including the bimonthly magazine Education in Chemistry.

The RSC runs a number of initiatives to attract students to the chemical sciences from all parts of society, including its involvement with the HE STEM Programme and the Pfizer funded programme Discover Chemistry.  The Society also supports continued professional development for teachers.  Chemistry for Non-Specialists is a high quality training programme designed to provide teachers with the confidence, flair and enthusiasm to teach chemistry at KS3 or KS4.
