INEOS, the world's third-largest producer of chemicals, donates £250,000 to the RSC to support the UK Chemistry Olympiad competition for UK sixthform students

The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has received from INEOS, the world's third-largest producer of chemicals, a donation of £250,000 over the coming five years to help inspire young people to go on to take up careers in science. The RSC will use the money to support its UK-wide annual chemistry competition, which aims to encourage chemistry students to challenge themselves beyond the post-16 curriculum. By choosing to use the unrestricted educational donation from INEOS to support the UK Chemistry Olympiad, the RSC aims to enhance the programme and extend its reach.
