Introduction

Introduction

The annual Analytical Research Forum (ARF) is the premier Analytical Science meeting of the RSC. The meeting is primarily for early-stage analytical science researchers (industrial scientists, PhD students and postdoctoral fellows) to present their latest results in the context of the wider analytical science community. 

The programme features both poster sessions and lectures, including oral presentations from students, medal winners and international leaders in the field. 
 

Networking

One of the valuable benefits of attending ARF is the opportunity to network with contemporary researchers who cover a wide range of analytical techniques and experience. Networking takes place through interactive poster sessions and a lively social programme.
