Announcing the RSC Desktop Seminar Lectureship Series

12 Jan 2021

The RSC is proud to recognise exceptional scientists through our series of journal lectureships. Typically, our winners are given the opportunity to present their award-winning work at international conferences or meetings, which has not been possible this year due to the disruption to in-person events caused by the global pandemic.

As a result, the RSC is delighted to announce our inaugural free, online-only RSC Desktop Seminar Lectureship Series, featuring virtual talks by our recent journal lectureship winners. Each session will include an introductory talk by a journal board member as well as the lectureship winner.

The RSC Desktop Seminar Lectureship Series is an effort to not only replace in-person research seminars during the current pandemic situation but to also expand access for researchers around the world looking to connect to some of the leading minds in the chemical sciences. The RSC Desktop Seminar Lectureships will take place during a variety of time zones to accommodate our winners from different regions, so we encourage any and all interested to register and attend.

The full list of desktop seminars can be found below – check back regularly for updates and new sessions!

Material matters at 2013 MRS Spring Meeting

10 Apr 2013

Thanks to everyone that stopped by our booth last week at the 2013 MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit in San Francisco.

Editors Liz Dunn and Sam Keltie were on hand to answer questions and tell people about our top journals and books, including Biomaterials Science, Energy & Environmental Science and Journals of Materials Chemistry A, B and C.

There was lots of excitement around the launch of new journal Materials Horizons. It’s now open for submissions, welcoming the very best research at the cutting-edge interface of materials science with chemistry, physics, biology and engineering.

But what will this journal bring to the materials community? Find out from Editorial Board Chair Seth Marder in this short video.

We’ll be in Boston for the 2013 MRS Fall Meeting and Exhibit in December. We hope to see you then!

Fall MRS Boston: were you a winner?

06 Dec 2012

It was great to meet old friends and new at the RSC Publishing booth at the 2012 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston last week.

After the positive feedback we received last year, we opted for another environmentally friendly cardboard booth. We had a range of top titles on display, including Energy & Environmental Science, Nanoscale and our new journal Biomaterials Science.

Lots of visitors were keen to learn more about Journal of Materials Chemistry, which, in 2013, continues as three journals: Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B and C.

And, as always, our books proved popular, in particular our new Smart Materials book series and Chocolate as Medicine.

Delegates enjoy the Visual Elements periodic table jigsaw

International Symposia on Advancing the Chemical Sciences (ISACS) 2011

23 Nov 2010

After a successful introduction in 2010, the International Symposia on Advancing the Chemical Sciences (ISACS) is set to return in 2011. Continuing its support of the RSC flagship journal Chemical Science, this significant new global symposia series is ambitious in its scale and coverage.

The second three symposia, like ISACS 1-3, will be held on three continents, over three separate weeks and have already attracted support from some of the leading names in the chemical sciences.

– ISACS4: Challenges in Renewable Energy
– ISACS5: Challenges in Chemical Biology
– ISACS6: Challenges in Organic Materials & Supramolecular Chemistry

Professor Tianquan Lian, from Emory University, Atlanta, said about the ISACS2 meeting: “The scientific content of the conference was of the highest quality and the hospitality was just superb. I have already told my colleagues about this wonderful conference and the new journal”.

Each ISACS event will feature a single stream of plenary lectures complemented by oral presentations and extensive poster sessions with plenty of time dedicated to networking. The chance for young researchers to present their work alongside some of the leading and emerging names in the field is an opportunity not to be missed.
