What is the Student Chemical Society Network?

The Student Chemical Society (SCS) Network represents the views of young chemical scientists for the Royal Society of Chemistry, encouraging communication between all of our communities, in particular other student ChemSocs and the committees who run our 59 local sections and representatives around the world.

UK & Ireland

By registering your ChemSoc, you will become part of the SCS Network.

This will:

  • provide you with resources and advice for running your ChemSoc
  • funding for lectures, events and promotional materials
  • connect you to other ChemSocs, local sections and businesses

Your ChemSoc will play a vital role in our university visits, helping to recruit new members and promoting us and our activities. You can also share feedback with us that will help shape the support we offer.

Why have a ChemSoc?

The roles played by our ChemSocs are varied, but all have the basic idea of allowing members to network internally with other members and have fun. Some have a social focus within their department, whereas others have events that are scientific or career themed. Most societies combine the two and strike a balance.
