Explore our events
The following summarises our main event categories but it is not a comprehensive list of all the events we organise. For example, we organise many different types of webinars and non-science-topic events. You may also see the RSC badge on events we are not directly organising, perhaps if we are supporting an event by providing speakers, supporting RSC journals, or participating in an exhibition.
Faraday Discussions
Three-day conferences with a unique format prioritising discussion, and addressing topics at the forefront of the physical sciences.
Conferences and symposia
Hear from renowned speakers, share your own research and stay up to date with the latest developments in your field.
International peripatetic conferences
We regularly host editions of international peripatetic conferences, like the 2025 International Solar Fuels conference.
RSC journals symposia
Our journal editors organise and host journal symposia. These can be part of a regular series, like the Chemical Science series, or events to celebrate a special occasion such as Green Chemistry's 25th anniversary.
RSC Interest Group events
We are proud of our interest groups who organise a huge range of events for our communities.
