The Committee of the Scottish Analytical Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry are pleased to extend an invitation for your school to apply for a place in the 2016 contest, taking place on the 10th of March 2016 at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. Places will be allocated on a first-come basis.
The competition is open to teams each made up of three pupils studying Higher Chemistry (normally in year 12 / S5 or equivalent) and is designed to stimulate interest in analytical chemistry and to give school pupils a brief glimpse of university life. The competitors work as a team (each school may only field one team) to complete and report on three practical analytical chemistry experiments. The winners will each receive small personal prizes and the winning school will become holders of the RSC Scottish Schools Analyst Trophy for the following year. Additionally, the winners will be invited to participate in the UK final in June 2016.
All reasonable travel and lunch expenses will be covered by the RSC. Contact Dr. Eva Krupp for further information.
