Heads of Chemistry UK (HCUK) is an independent body representing the interests of 70 departments engaged in chemical education, scholarship and research in universities and similar institutions throughout the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. It seeks to further the interests of the chemical sciences in higher education in the broadest sense. HCUK is currently chaired by Professor Tom Welton (Dean of Natural Sciences at Imperial College London).
This year’s Spring Conference will feature guest speakers on effective university-business collaboration, inclusion and diversity in chemistry and the physical sciences, a workshop looking on recent policy issues such as Brexit, and more.
Further information on guest speakers will be available soon, and the final agenda and papers will be available 1-2 weeks before the conference.
An additional meeting for heads of new, re-opening or small chemistry departments will take place immediately after the conference. Please contact us to request more information about this meeting.
