CFOF the way forward
The RSC is set to continue to manage several Chemistry for Our Future projects including the teacher fellow scheme and Spectroscopy in a suitcase
July marked the end of Chemistry for our future (CFOF), a three-year pilot programme to support chemistry in HE managed by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and funded to the tune of £5.35m by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). Now the RSC continues its support for the provision of chemistry in HE as a partner in the new national HE STEM programme hosted by the University of Birmingham. With funding to the tune of £20m from HEFCE and £1m from the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW), the national programme will run for three years and build on the success of CFOF and other similar pilot projects in physics, engineering and mathematics.
