Education in Chemistry was founded 50 years ago by Ronald S Nyholm and continues to fly the flag for innovation and best practice in chemistry teaching
EIC 50th Anniversary
As we are celebrating EiC's 50th anniversary year, I thought you may like to know a bit about its background.
It was quite difficult to choose exactly when the anniversary actually should be. Should it be volume 50? Should it be from the initial conception, the formation of the editorial board, the appointment of staff, the commissioning of articles or the publication date? 'All of the above', seemed to be reasonable. In the end, I decided that volume 50 in its entirety should be one big celebration.
To reach this conclusion, a bit of historical research down in the basement at Burlington House, was necessary. Kate Bennett (librarian) helped me to search the archives for essential information that was locked away within the secrets of the Royal Institute of Chemistry's (RIC) minute books.
Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor.
