Welcome from the Royal Society of Chemistry and Chemical Science
Dear Colleagues, A warm welcome to the Chemical Science Symposium – Chemistry of Polymers.
This is the fifth in the series of Chemical Science Symposia, and like 2022 we are once again hosting this as a hybrid meeting, with the opportunity to welcome delegates to the headquarters of the Royal Society of Chemistry for face-to-face interaction, as well as looking forward to a conversation enriched by the online participation of our international community. Under the banner of our flagship journal, Chemical Science , we are shining a spotlight on cutting-edge chemistry research and giving it the sort of attention that drives scientific progress and makes a difference. Each year, we aim to keep the same format for the Symposium, with ample time available to support networking and discussion, while changing the theme to reflect the latest research developments, ensuring we bring together leading researchers from around the world. We also encourage strong participation from early career scientists and future leaders, who will be the future of this discipline. We are dedicating significant time in the programme to our poster sessions, both in person and online, and we will hear from a selection of these scientists in our flash poster presentations. We strongly encourage all delegates to actively take part in these sessions. The Chemical Science Symposium also provides a way for our wider community to regularly stay in touch with the journal editors from RSC journals in this area, and fellow researchers across a broad range of topics in the chemical sciences. This years’ Symposium is focussed on the topic of Chemistry of Polymers. We have a wide range of speakers in this Symposium who are all internationally recognised experts in aspects of polymer chemistry. Methods and topics that we will hear about will be varied such as the chemistry and synthesis of polymers, optoelectronic polymers, recyclable polymers and 3D printing, biopolymers and polymer assemblies. We hope that the lectures and poster presentations will stimulate the exchange of ideas and experiences between all participants, setting a strong platform for discussion. We’d like to thank each of the speakers, poster presenters and participants for all their contributions. Again, on behalf of the Chemical Science team, a very warm welcome to what promises to be an exciting symposium. We hope that this event will act as a springboard for future activities and that it will help in fostering new research collaborations.
