The Royal Society of Chemistry’s vision is a world in which the chemical sciences fulfil their potential as a force for good. They are a global charity who work to connect chemical scientists with each other and society.

In 2022 The Spectris Foundation and The Royal Society of Chemistry launched a project called Chemistry for Science Teachers. The project aims to enhance and build the skill levels and confidence of early career chemistry teachers and non-chemistry specialist teachers in delivering high quality chemistry lessons to address students’ lost learning during the pandemic. This project is being delivered online to make it realistic and accessible for all participants across the UK and Northern Ireland.
