Chemist in industry

When: 19 February 2025
Where: Alderley Park, Mereside, Alderley Edge, Cheshire, SK10 4TG, UK

Following the successful 2023 event, the Fine Chemicals Group and Young Chemists’ Panel are proud to present the return of the “Chemist in Industry” meeting. It combines a one-day meeting with a poster session, networking and award for the best talk. Solving chemistry problems is central to so many industries and it is the people in the laboratories who make this happen. This is a meeting to celebrate and recognise that community. It presents an opportunity to learn how problems are overcome with new chemical methodology and technology in different industries. Prizes will be awarded for the best talk and runners-up.

This meeting will be of interest to chemists working in all chemical industries (e.g. pharmaceutical, catalysis, agrochemical, computational). Laboratory-based scientists and technical experts (e.g. computational chemists) with several years’ industry experience are encouraged to attend. Perhaps you are in a second or third role in industry and are looking to expand your professional network. It presents a superb opportunity for chemists to showcase the relevance of chemistry to industrial research, providing attendees opportunities to develop their CV with options of presenting and networking.

We are inviting talks from speakers from across the chemical industry (e.g. pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, materials, catalysis, agrochemical, computational). Talks should be 30 minutes in length and present the relevance of chemistry to problem solving in industrial applications. They should be from experienced laboratory-based scientists who have had direct involvement in the work described.
