The Call is aimed at encouraging research and innovation within the field of analytical measurement science focused on addressing current challenges identified by industry across CAMS priority areas:

  • Point of use sensors and photonics
  • Complex mixtures, separations and detection
  • Data analytics
  • Novel instrumentation or technique

A series of proposals that address current industry challenges identif

ACTF has launched a brand new award to provide the opportunity for Analytical Scientists who are employed in university, industrial or public service sectors in the United Kingdom (UK) or Republic of Ireland (RoI) to visit a Host Institute in the UK/RoI to acquire new analytical science knowledge, or experience of analytical science teaching, learning or training methods, which would be applied on return to normal employment. 

Application deadline is 7th June 2024

As we near the end of 2023, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank-you to the analytical community in the U.K and Ireland who have played their part in supporting CAMS. A special thanks goes of course to ACTF for their continued and generous financial support which has, together with our industry and academic members co-funded over 40 programmes in CAMS phase 1. We started our journey hoping to connect across the analytical community and to support and grow new talent which is

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

Anthias Consulting Ltd was shortlisted for two awards at this year’s Lab Awards which were held at the Lab Innovations exhibition at the Birmingham NEC on the 1st of November. This micro-business
was nominated alongside AstraZeneca and Leybold for ‘Best Company Culture’ due to their flexible working arrangements, care for work-life balance, scenic office location and focus on employee training. Anthias were also shortlisted alongside Asynt, CoolMed and ESSLAB/Element Deeside and won the award fo

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.

As we near the end of 2022, its worth reflecting back on our successes as a growing community. This year, we took a look as an executive board, at the work we had done in partnership with the ACTF who have co-funded the majority of our community work to date. When we examined our impact on the Analytical Measurement Science community in our first membership period, we found we had :

 

  • Co-funded 40 awards 14 new academic positions (8 of which are permanent); 19 Fellowships and 7 P

 

Disruption Grant Closing 31st Dec22

ACTF Trustees recognise the disruption that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on analytical science students. We are relaunching a disruption grant of £500 aimed at PhD students whose studies have been adversely affected by the pandemic and need additional monetary support to complete their studies.
