Access our expertise
We have an expanding team of researchers at the forefront of their fields, and an extensive array of new instrumentation and equipment to support our research activities.
The chemistry department has expertise in three research theme areas: health, energy and materials. Research in our department also aligns with Energy Lancaster and the Materials Science Institute.
As part of the chemistry department's wider engagement agenda, and to expand our relationship with industry we have created a Chemistry-Industry Advisory Board. This board is composed by a balanced number of local and national UK companies with expertise in different areas, as well as representation from the university's Science and Technology Partnerships and Business Engagement Team, the Heads of Department and members of the Management Team of the Department of Chemistry (Directors of Research, Teaching, Engagement and Employability) and the Chemistry Industrial Placement Officer.
The Board meets three times a year in person and in hybrid format to strengthen relationships and to make sure that our research and teaching fully align with industrial needs in the future.
The role of the Industrial Advisory Board within the Chemistry Department at Lancaster University is:
