Corporate partnerships
Roche
Roche is committed to improving the standards of healthcare for people worldwide.
Together with Roche, we launched a series of symposia in China, which address global healthcare challenges through innovative and interdisciplinary chemical research. The symposia enable participants to present research, share best practices, and establish new connections with potential collaborators.
Unilever
Unilever R&D Shanghai, China, are committed to advancing the chemical sciences in the area of functional materials, and we partnered to organise a series of symposia in China.
The symposia enable academic and industrial scientists, including graduate and postgraduate students, to share leading research in functional materials science. Participants exchange ideas and experiences, and have the opportunity to establish new research collaborations.
Professional bodies & funders
Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC)
We signed a reciprocal agreement with the Canadian Society for Chemistry in 2014. This agreement enables members from each society to access benefits from each other.
Chinese Chemical Society (CCS)
We signed an international cooperation agreement with the CCS in 2006.This agreement was renewed in 2010 and again in July 2016. Through this agreement, we have co-organised scientific symposia in China to strengthen research relationships between China and the UK.
Chinese Pharmaceutical Association (CPA)
We signed an international cooperation agreement with the CPA in November 2011 and this will be resigned in August 2016. The agreement has enabled joint symposia to be organised in China and the UK on topics of global importance in human health and medicinal chemistry.
Chemical Research Society of India (CRSI)
In February 2007, we signed an international cooperation agreement with the CRSI. Through this agreement, we have co-organised symposia in India and the UK, helping to build links between researchers in both countries. This agreement was renewed in February 2016.
Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ)
We signed an international cooperation agreement with the CSJ in July 2010. The agreement has enabled joint Japan-UK symposia to be organised each year alternating between Japan and UK in order to facilitate new collaborations between researchers in each country. The agreement was re-signed in March 2023 in Japan.
Korean Chemical Society (KCS)
We signed an international cooperation agreement with the KCS at their national meeting in October 2009. Through this agreement, we have co-organised joint Korea-UK symposia and exchanged researchers between the UK and Korea, strengthening research links between the two countries. The agreement was renewed in April 2014 and again in April 2019.
National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)
Since 2012 we have organised joint symposia with the NSFC on topics of importance to researchers in the UK and China. The symposia are organised both in China and the UK on topics such as natural products, optoelectronics and organic synthesis, enabling participants to establish new research collaborations.
Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI)
We signed a Memorandum of Understanding at the Royal Australian Chemical Institute at their Awards Ceremony in November 2018. This agreement enables members from each society to access benefits from each other.
Sociedade Brasileira de QuÃmica (SBQ)
We signed an international cooperation agreement with the SBQ on 31 May 2007. The agreement has delivered support and services to members of both societies and improve their networking through joint scientific meetings, encouraging participants to establish new research collaborations. The agreement was re-signed in 2012 and again in 2018.
Trusts & foundations
Yusuf Hamied
Philanthropist and healthcare pioneer Dr Yusuf Hamied has made a very generous donation and enabled us to launch the for school students in India. Over the next five years, we aim to:
- equip 8,000 teachers across India with the specialist knowledge and skills to deliver exciting and engaging chemistry lessons, and to share their knowledge with their colleagues
- provide 1,600 of the brightest chemistry students from all backgrounds with places at chemistry camps to motivate and inspire them to reach the necessary standards to study chemistry at university.
