Chemical Education Group

This was set up in 1991 to bring the leaders of major institutions together to consider wider policy issues. It has run annual major seminars since 1993 on specific issues of concern in science education. The Group consists of the Presidents and Chief Executives of the member institutions. The group holds an annual seminar to discuss a current topical subject concerning chemical education.
