Unfortunately, due to changes we have had to make at the museum, we are unable to host our Chemistry@Work event.

The good news is we are moving the event online with videos from experts in the field.

We will update you with more information closer to the event.

To present a positive image of chemistry and the chemical sciences to young people at school or in college
To show the variety of applications of chemistry in the world of work
To show that chemistry is an interesting and exciting way to earn a living
To show that chemists are real people
To raise awareness of the scientific heritage of the Black Country
