Theoretical Chemistry Group

Connect with colleagues in your field and become involved in your scientific community

Purpose and scope

The Theoretical Chemistry Group is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, in line with the RSC's strategy and charter.

Aims

  • To actively promote the interests of theoretical and computational chemists
  • To ensure that the interests of its members are adequately represented in the activities of the RSC and other bodies
  • To advance knowledge and awareness of computational and theoretical chemistry, highlighting the diversity within the field
  • To organise and support conferences, workshops, and other events that foster collaboration and innovation in computational and theoretical chemistry
  • To support young researchers in the field of computational and theoretical chemistry

    Committee

    The committee members listed are responsible for designing programmes that will advance chemistry in the subject area, helping the RSC to meet its aims, engaging with and supporting our members.

    We are always keen to welcome new members to the committee. When vacancies arise, we circulate a “Call for Committee”, where an email is sent to all members of the group to make them aware of new opportunities to join the committee.

    It is important to have diverse representation on committees to consider the needs of our membership. All RSC members are welcome to stand for committee positions when vacancies are advertised.
