Research strategy b1: Achievement of strategic aims stated in RAE2008: 1. Achieving a Sustainable Research Environment. Our aims since 2008 have been to strengthen our research at the interfaces between Chemistry and other physical sciences, the life sciences and engineering. We have built upon our strong research base and have ensured the sustainability and vitality of our environment by the strategic allocation of resources, major investments in instrumentation and infrastructure to provide world-class facilities (see d), and by nurturing Early Career Researchers (ECRs, see c1). The School has exploited new research opportunities and driven national research priorities by engagement in EPSRC Portfolio Shaping, membership of SATs and boards of UK facilities (see e3). We have strengthened our knowledge exchange activities with industry (see e2) and the public to increase research impact, and have built critical mass in research and training (see e1).

  • Johnson, Matthey and the Chemical Society
    •Platinum Metals Rev., 2013, 57, (2), 110–116• Johnson, Matthey and the Chemical Society Two hundred years of precious metals expertise http://dx.doi.org/10.1595/147106713X664635 http://www.platinummetalsreview.com/ By William P. Griffi th The founders of Johnson Matthey – Percival Johnson and George Matthey – played important roles in the foundation Department of Chemistry, Imperial College, London SW7 and running of the Chemical Society, which was founded in 2AZ, UK 1841. This tradition continues today with the Royal Society Email: w.griffi [email protected] of Chemistry and Johnson Matthey Plc. The nineteenth century brought a ferment of discovery and research to all branches of chemistry; for example some twenty-six elements were discovered between 1800 and 1850, ten of them by British chemists, including rhodium, palladium, osmium and iridium. In 1841 the Chemical Society – the oldest national chemical society in the world still in existence – was established. Both Percival Johnson (Figure 1(a)) and George Matthey (Figure 1(b)) were prominent members, Johnson being one of its founders. The Origins of the Chemical Society Although there had been an earlier London Chemical Society in 1824 it lasted for only a year (1). The Chemical Society of London (‘of London’ was dropped in 1848) was founded at a meeting held on 30th March 1841 at the Society of Arts in John Street (now John Adam Street), London, UK; Robert Warington (1807–1867), an analytical chemist later to become resident Director of the Society of Apothecaries (2), was instrumental in setting it up and his son, also Robert Warington, later wrote an account of its history for its 1891 Jubilee (3).

  • Re-Thinking Recognition: Science Prizes for the Modern World
    TALENT Re-thinking recognition: Science prizes for the modern world Introducing our new perspectives series In a world where global challenges and advances in technology bring both uncertainty and new possibilities, the chemical sciences have a critical role to play. But what will that role be? How can we maximise the impact we make across academia, industry, government and education? And what actions should we take to create a stronger, more vibrant culture for research that helps enable new discoveries? Our perspectives series addresses these questions through four lenses: talent, discovery, sustainability and knowledge. Drawing together insights and sharp opinion, our goal is to increase understanding and inform debate – putting the chemical sciences at the heart of the big issues the world is facing. Talent Talent is the lifeblood of the chemical sciences. But how do we inspire, nurture, promote and protect it? Where will we find the chemical scientists of the future? And what action is required to ensure we give everyone the greatest opportunity to make a positive difference? Discovery Chemistry is core to advances across every facet of human life. But where do the greatest opportunities lie? How will technology shape the science we create? And what steps should we take to ensure that curiosity-driven research continues to unlock new opportunities in unexpected ways? Sustainability Our planet faces critical challenges – from plastics polluting the oceans, to the urgent need to find more sustainable resources. But where will new solutions come from? How can we achieve global collaboration to address the big issues? And where can the chemical sciences deliver the biggest impacts? Knowledge Around the world research fuels scientific progress but the way we are sharing new knowledge is changing.
