East Anglia

Welcome to the East Anglia Local Section covering Norfolk and Suffolk. Our prime objective is to attempt to bring the membership - both active and retired - into a coherent grouping through a full and varied programme of technical, scientific, school, and social events. We aim to support our members, and to make the general public aware of the importance of chemical sciences, by:

• Organising networking events and social occasions for all the working and retired members in our area. Examples include retired members lunches, industry visits etc.
• Running symposia and lectures in collaboration with the local universities and industry.
• Supporting school liaison programmes and organising local participation in the RSC "Top of the Bench" Competition
• Participating in the support to members resident in our area from the Chemists’ Community Fund program of work.
• Supporting, where applicable, those applicants from our region who were successful in receiving a grant from the RSC Outreach fund.
• Supporting local students with a grant to help pay for travel expenses to conferences. Contact the secretary at the link shown below for an application form.

If you are interested in holding a school’s lecture, an evening lecture, participating in an event, or contributing in any other way to the Local Section and the RSC please contact our Secretary via the form below.

We have an active committee made up of members at different stages of their careers in a variety of fields, all related to chemistry. Within the committee, as well as the Officer positions of Chair, Treasurer and Secretary, we have specific roles covering education, industry, social activities, webinars, and social media. If you are interested in joining the EA Local section committee or would like some additional information then please contact our Secretary. 

We regularly seek new members from the local area to help our committee plan future events, whether that be as a committee member, or perhaps less formally by just coming along to one of our regular committee meetings.
