Emerging Technologies Competition

The Emerging Technologies Competition is our annual innovation initiative, turning promising ideas into commercial reality.

The competition brings cutting edge science to the real world for the benefit of society. It aims to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative technologies in health and wellbeing, energy and environment, food and water, and materials.

We signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the GDCh during a joint symposium to celebrate their 150th anniversary year in 2017. Through this agreement, we partner to promote and enable the chemical sciences in Europe and in particular through support of the European Chemical Society, EuChemS.

We collaborate with IChemE on the interdisciplinary journal, Molecular Systems Design and Engineering.

The journal focuses on understanding molecular properties, behaviour and interactions, and how this can be applied to the design of processes, to solve global technological problems. It brings together selected disciplines in biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, computational and materials science.

We were awarded £300,000 from the Mayor of London through the London Schools Excellence Fund, to support our Inspiring 91AV Teachers programme.

This programme was aimed at developing the subject knowledge, skills and confidence of teachers who deliver chemistry lessons in London’s schools. This support for teachers resulted in a positive effect on pupil’s enjoyment, interest and achievement in chemistry.

The National Science Academy Grant Scheme has supported the Welsh activities of our outreach programme with a donation of £33,500. The SIAS programme provides students with demonstrations and access to spectrometers and analytical equipment.

The aim of our partnership is to increase the number of Welsh pupils studying chemistry at university and electing to follow a science-based career. We also aim to increase the participation of students from areas of low engagement with chemistry.

We are participating in two programmes within the UK Government’s Newton Fund programme.

Through our operational alliance with the British Council, we’re one of the organisations involved in co-funding Newton Fund researcher links grants, which create new bilateral partnerships between the UK and scientifically developing countries through co-organised workshops.

In partnership with the Royal Society we are co-funding Newton Fund international researcher exchanges between scientists in the UK and Africa.

, which launched in September 2014, is an open access journal publishing research across the entire range of science, using objective peer review and without any restrictions on scope, length or impact. The journal comprises 12 subject sections, including chemistry.

As part of this collaboration we manage the editorial aspects up to acceptance, including editorial content development and peer-review, for articles published in the chemistry section of this journal.

With the support of SFI, we are expanding our current across Ireland. The support provides enhanced training and equipment to help to meet the high demand for SIAS visits. 

The SIAS programme provides students with demonstrations and access to spectrometers and analytical equipment.

Wilkinson Charitable Trust

During four years of support and a financial donation of £1m the Wolfson Foundation has made a substantial difference to the aspirations of thousands of talented and gifted students.

Through our Reach & Teach programme, this generous donation has enabled us to enhance the knowledge and skills of hundreds of chemistry teachers, through:

• development of continuous professional development courses
• providing thousands of students with enrichment and enhancement activities
• access to 91AV at Work events and .
