Our Research Fund is now open for applications. Apply for grants of up to £4000 to purchase chemicals and/or equipment for your research project. The fund is available to our members at universities, colleges or research institutes conducting their own research. The Research Fund enables research with high scientific or societal impact that can not be funded through mainstream sources of funding. Priority will be given to those working in less well-funded institutes, those in developing countries and early career researchers rsc.li/2LpkCOH

wish I was so smart amazing. I use to love science had a stroke but still a fan of all who still do. I do have a friend who lives in California she is a Chemist she just started teaching at a hospital I know people will learn so much from her .Bless you all and all you do for the world thank you cheers.

it's my dream place

I would love to work here. I have watched videos of Dr peters video alott.... he is a great man I feel

This society is a outstanding branch of this universe🏆🏆🚀🚀

The name it self what it is

The Royal Society of Chemistry is one of the greatest and powerfull scientific society in the World.

The Job which is done is excellent.

Royal society of chemistry is an wonderful place for chemists. I think RSC is doing well than any international institution of chemistry.

Another thing to say is RSC south India section is not active in my point of view

RSC is a place to be. I felt fulfilled being among people of like minds. I will always identify myself with RSC

Quite informative

One of the main reasons I became a member is because the Royal Society of Chemistry's preservation of the purity of the chemical sciences and its unwavering commitment to upholding its motto "for the sake of knowledge and the benefit of mankind."

My dream job in here was a Computing Chemist nor Astrochemist. I must figured out how theoretical are chemistry in space. Even analysis

I love it. ROYAL Society of chemistry is the great place for the chemist to build up their skills. Its also great experience

High quality literature, comprehensive knowledge, significant research work, concerned to future perspective, wide audience lookout, all remarkably amazing.

Excellent and impressive venue - The weight of history is palpable

Bio-resources Faraday Discussion, 19-21 June 2017, was such a inspiring and intellectual event. Definitely will try to be here again.

Beautiful building, friendly helpful people. Am very proud to be a member of this Royal Society.

Amazing knowledge source . I hope everything will easy to understand

AWESOME PLACE .... Awesome people ....

Although one thing that would be good is ...

The waiters and waitresses had no name badges ... So had to ask each one personally ... As I felt they so deserved to be known as they are "Leading" and "serving"is the "HIGHEST" form of leadership one thinks.

The quality of RSC Journals is very good and this society has contributed significantly in the advancement and understanding of the fundamental as well as applied sciences.

I think chemistry should be seen as a responsibility and not as a subject
