Our unique international discussion meetings focus on rapidly developing areas of the physical sciences, focusing on physical chemistry and its interfaces with other scientific disciplines. For over 100 years and 300 meetings, Faraday Discussions have been at the forefront of physical chemistry, and many have become landmark meetings in their field.

Faraday Loving Cup
The Loving Cup, known as the Marlow Cup, was purchased out of funds raised by an appeal to members of the Faraday Society to commemorate Mr G W S Marlow, Secretary and editor of the Society, from 1928 to 1947. The Cup, dating from 1728, is silver and is reputedly by the silversmith Heslie Fawdery. It bears a crest of which nothing is known and the Faraday Society added no inscription.
The Cup is used during the Conference Dinner at Faraday Discussions to toast the memory of Mr Marlow, Angela and Tony Fish, and the Faraday Community for Physical Chemistry.
