Introduction
Dear colleagues, Welcome to the 2022 Analytical Research Forum (ARF), the flagship event of the Royal Society of Chemistry Analytical Division (soon to become the RSC Analytical Science Community). This is the first hybrid ARF in a two-day format in London and online, we have aimed for a high impact scientific symposium with high profile speakers and opportunities for early career researchers to present their work. This year we have also included two panel discussions to showcase careers in analytical chemistry and to highlight the importance of Inclusion & Diversity in analytical sciences. Once again, we have a wide range of talks and posters reflecting the enormous breadth of analytical chemistry in terms of techniques as well as the many important applications of those techniques. Analytical science has a vital role in so many areas of life and our meeting today is one of the ways in which we can share our knowledge and advance our field. There are opportunities to discuss and share research in-person and virtually, and we encourage you to participate fully in the discussions and network with each other throughout the event. Many thanks are due to all our presenters for sharing their research with us today. I would also like to thank our sponsors and supporters and my colleagues on the Scientific Committee and the Royal Society of Chemistry staff who have worked hard to make this meeting possible. Most of all I’d like to thank all of you, the participants at this meeting and especially those of you at an early stage in your analytical careers for your energy, ideas and enthusiasm!
