Recognition for RAFT

Posted 21/04/08

RAFT is delighted that Dr Rachel Haywood has been elected onto the ESR Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry. This is a very prominent group so to be invited to be part of it is extremely prestigious for both RAFT and Rachel. Being elected onto the ESR Group means recognition of our research by the Royal Society of Chemistry and raises the profile of RAFT's research amongst our scientific peers.

The ESR Group was founded in 1968 as a forum within the Chemical Society for scientists to share, disseminate and promote knowledge about ESR-EPR-EMR phenomena (what's in a name?). In 1980 the Chemical Society and the Royal Institute of Chemistry, together with the Faraday Society and the Society for Analytical Chemistry were amalgamated to become the Royal Society of Chemistry.

The main aim of the ESR Group is to promote innovation, share and advance knowledge, and to encourage applications of ESR in chemistry and a broad range of sciences and their applications. These aims are achieved with the aid of an annual international meeting, often with subsequent publication of research presented in a respected international journal.
