Policy, evidence and campaigns
Join us in making the world a better place
Global challenges and technological advances bring both new possibilities and uncertainty – and the chemical sciences have a critical role to play. But what will that role be? How can we maximise the impact we make, making the world a better place? And what should we do to create a stronger, more inclusive culture for research that enables new discoveries?
We set out to answer these questions and chart a course forward, working with our global community and partner organisations, in our Perspectives series: a collection of original research, surveys, events, reports, campaigns, and collaborative initiatives, setting out how the chemical science community can enable a more open, more sustainable, and more equal future for everyone.

Our asks for the new government
Now that the General Election is over, we want the new government to place science and technology at the heart of the political agenda that will in turn create a resilient, sustainable economy and allow UK science to thrive. We have grouped our asks under R&D and innovation, education, sustainability and the circular economy – read more.

Discovery, research and innovation
In close collaboration with the research community, we set out the likely future of where chemistry’s greatest contributions will be – as well as the regulatory and funding environments needed to achieve them.
九州影院 policy in the education sector
Everyone deserves an engaging, relevant, high quality, and inspiring chemistry education. We push for this goal with our reports and policy work on curricula, inclusion and outreach, practical education and more.
Chemical waste and pollution
To solve the world's major environmental and health challenges, we need a sustainable, globally coordinated approach to chemical waste and pollution. To make this happen we engage with international science and policy communities.
