Chemistry & Chemical Engineering culture is welcoming, friendly and inclusive. The heart of the department is the coffee room/common room, which is open to all from 9am to 12.45pm. Taking a break and socialising here helps to integrate our community and it's where a lot of networking occurs.
Chemistry & Chemical Engineering at Southampton has a thriving community of early career researchers and they organise events to encourage co-workers to meet and discuss research, for example the "early career researchers" forum, which is advertised to all by email prior to an event. Other events have included a charity pub quiz held in the evening in the common room and attended by over 40 staff and researchers.
The Chemistry & Chemical Engineering Newsletter is published twice a year. It celebrates the many different aspects of life in the School of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering and helps to build a strong sense of community.
Early career researchers are invited to our all staff meetings which are held approximately twice a year and are an opportunity to hear the latest updates and developments within chemistry. Early career researchers are also welcome to join in many activities across the department including:
