Organisation profile

Chemistry plays an essential role in developing innovative solutions to some of the key challenges faced by modern society. Our world-leading research expertise impacts in key areas such as sustainability, energy, and the effective management of societal resources.

The Universities of Edinburgh and St Andrews formed EaStCHEM in 2004 to combine the research activities of two of Scotland’s leading schools of chemistry. EaStCHEM is now recognised for excellence in both core and interdisciplinary chemistry with our wide-ranging research themes reflecting the relevance of modern chemistry in solving important global challenges and improving lives.

EaStCHEM ranked second in the REF 2014 'Power Table' with 80 academics submitted and 95% of research papers classed as world-leading or internationally excellent. The collaborative environment provided by EaStCHEM was assessed as excellent with all aspects rated as internationally or nationally leading.
