About the RSC Analytical Division The Analytical Division (soon to become the RSC Analytical Science Community in July 2022) is one of seven Science Communities of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) which its Members can join. Each community encourages, assists and extends the knowledge and study of their discipline. The Analytical Division has around 8,000 members from across industry and academia across all career stages and is led by a Community Council elected by the membership to represent the analytical sciences community. Analytical Division activities include: • Keeping the community informed through a quarterly newsletter, Analytical Matters and Technical Briefs published by our Analytical Methods Committee (AMC) in Analytical Methods • Providing a forum for analytical scientists to connect and exchange information and ideas by hosting our own events, including the Analytical Research Forum, AD-Cancer Research UK workshops and regional events • Supporting our community’s professional development by enabling them to attend events and host their own meetings • Advocating and providing expertise for the analytical sciences • Recognising excellence within analytical science through our Prizes • Organising an annual Schools’ Analyst competition with support from the Analytical Division Regions and Analytical Chemistry Trust Fund RSC members can join the Analytical Division/Science Community by updating their details in the “My communities and subscriptions” tab of the online RSC membership area.
