The Historical Group is one of the 欧美AV's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit 欧美AV members, and the wider chemical science community, in line with the 欧美AV's strategy and charter.
Aims
- The Group exists to encourage an interest in the history of chemistry and chemical industry among members of the 欧美AV and others.
- The Group maintains contact with the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry (SHAC), and with the historical groups of the Institute of Physics (IoP), the American Chemical Society (ACS), and the European Chemical Society (EuChemS).
Activities
The group:
- holds twice-yearly meetings when academic papers are presented and discussed, check dates for these meetings on our events page
