New SCI groups
2004 saw the launch of a new special interest group. The Business Strategy Group promises to open up new channels of communication and chemistry-based enterprises, and already has members from a diverse and influential selection of businesses worldwide.

The Yorkshire and the Humber Group will benefit from its location in an area of considerable industrial heritage, and from the excellent links with many of its universities. The Group organises events that tap into this expertise for both general and specialist audiences, and runs educational events for schools and educators across the science sectors. We look forward to following the activities of these new Groups.

If you would like to get involved in a Group in your region or area of expertise, contact the SCI Communications Team, E: communications@soci.org, T: +44 (0)20 7598 1564, F: +44 (0)20 7598 1545.
