Students join a growing community

Since its launch in September 2006 some 1200 UK students have joined ChemNet, the Royal Society of Chemistry's (RSC) initiative for post-16 students studying chemistry. ChemNet aims to enthuse young people about studying chemistry at university and then to encourage them to pursue a career based upon studies in the chemical sciences.   

As ChemNet members, students receive regular mailings, which include the ChemNet newsletter, Chemistry World and InfoChem [selected articles now on EiC site]. Student members are also sent free RSC materials and careers advice, and they can access a discussion board on the RSC website where they can ask questions about their studies or chemistry and make contact with other ChemNet members.
