SCI is currently going through an exciting period of strategic review, from which it will emerge with a renewed sense of purpose, as a multi-disciplinary society, serving diverse, yet interlinked, scientific sectors in the modern chemical industry.
Our strategy is to re-establish and extend our connections with industry, focusing on innovation and building an organisation which is better able to provide real value to new and existing members at all stages of their careers.
To achieve this, SCI needs the support and involvement of its active and dedicated members*. If you feel you have relevant experience and a passion for promoting scientific innovation – and if you would be willing help SCI build its future in the space where science meets business – please do consider standing for election. The Board of Trustees is keen to ensure diversity of representation across gender, race and age.
- Board of Trustees: 6 Ordinary Trustees,
- Finance and Investment Advisory Committee (FIAC): Chair and 4 Ordinary Members,
