Education coordinators

For all queries relating to education support, networks and outreach activities in your area of the UK and Ireland, please contact the appropriate education coordinator.

We are a dedicated team working across the UK and Ireland. We provide both global and regional teacher sessions for both professional development and networking, as well as supporting and upskilling members to work with young people to encourage their continued study of the chemical sciences. We are a great source of information and opportunities, and each of us works in a specific region so that our support is relevant and targeted to the community we work with.
