Welcome to the website of the North West Region of the Analytical Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry. We hope you enjoy your visit and will keep returning to see the latest news about current activities including our programme of meetings and schools events.

Our main remit is to promote analytical science at all levels in the region by arranging activities involving school children, students, practising and retired chemists. We also aim to enhance communication between our ~1,200 members who are spread throughout the the region from the Scottish Border to Mid-Wales.

The current region was established just over forty years ago when the former North of England Section of the Society of Analytical Chemistry was split into two sections. More information about the history of our region can be found in our booklet entitled A Lifetime of Analysis, a copy of which can be downloaded here.

Grants
The N.W. Region Analytical Division now has grants available for post-graduate students wishing to participate in analytical conferences, and for schools wishing to travel to local universities and colleges to find out more about analytical science.
Click on the links above for information about how to apply for these grants.

On 1st April a group of year 11 students from Chapel-en-le-Frith High School in Derbyshire visited the University of Manchester for a day of hands-on analytical chemistry and organic synthesis activities. This visit was made possible by a travel grant from the N.W. Region.
