Last week, 18 CAMS board members gathered around a table to review our over-arching and individual Board strategies for 2025/2026 in light of our progress to date.

Our vision is clearer than ever – ‘to be the leading collaborative community that bridges industrial need in analytical measurement science with academic research and innovation’. Our USP has always been that we are ‘industry led’ in our direction and that the academic: industry partnerships catalysed are impactful and help build a th

The call for Summer Studentship 2024 applications is now open – with an increased level of funding and new extended submission date!
 

The British Mass Spectrometry Society (BMSS), in partnership with the Chromatographic Society (ChromSoc), are now accepting applications for their Summer Studentships scheme. The scheme funds summer research projects for students, providing them with opportunities to directly experience mass spectrometry and chromatography, going beyond what they will learn in lec

The Gordon F. Kirkbright bursary award is a prestigious annual award that assists a promising early career scientists of any nation to attend a recognised scientific meeting or visit a place of learning. The fund for this bursary was established in 1985 as a memorial to Professor Gordon Kirkbright in recognition of his contributions to analytical spectroscopy and to science in general.

Owing to the generosity of one of our former trustees, an eminent atomic spectroscopist, Professor Edward B.M.

On Tuesday June 13, the event ‘The State of Separation Science in the UK’ took place at the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) jointly organised by the Community of Analytical Science (CAMS), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Separation Science Group, and The Chromatographic Society (ChromSoc). 

The meeting, aimed to answer one overarching question: Is Separation Science in the UK on life support?,  brought together UK and international experts in separation science to analyse the current state

We are looking forward to welcoming the separation science community to our State of the Nation meeting next week at the RSC in London hosted by CAMS, The RSC Separation Science Group and the Chromatographic Society. This meeting won’t see plenary lecturers unveiling their new research advances but instead aims to strategically connect our separation science community and stakeholders so we can together, devise an advocacy pathway for underpinning future UK separation science funding, innovati

The L.S. Theobald Award is made in memory of Leslie Stuart Theobald (1898-1979), who was Lecturer/Reader in Analytical Chemistry at Imperial College from 1925 until his retirement in 1963. A brief biography is available on the Royal Society of Chemistry web site. Nominations for the award are invited annually.

The award is made to someone who has demonstrated a significant contribution to the development or application of analytical chemistry/analytical science.
