The Pure and Applied Macromolecular Chemistry Group (Macro
Group UK) is a joint interest
group of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Society of
Chemical Industry. Its membership is drawn from academia
and industry, and spans the entire career range from
research student to senior positions in industry and
academia. By bringing together practitioners at every level
it is able to play an important role in influencing both
the strength and direction of polymer chemistry in the UK:
-
organising meetings and conferences, disseminating, discussing and evaluating polymer science and technology
-
providing bursaries to support student attendance at conferences
-
helping to ensure a continuing climate of academic and industrial excellence in polymer science
-
awarding medals recognising outstanding contributions to polymer science
-
disseminating information to members via a Newsletter and Bulletin (issued jointly with the Polymer Physics Group) and through our web sites
