Company and Institute overview

First licensed in 1394, The Salters’ Company has its origins in the salt trade of medieval London. This later developed to a commitment to chemistry and, more broadly, science education.

Since 1918 the Institute has established a reputation for excellence, working with a range of partners including the Royal Society of Chemistry and the University of York. The Institute’s influence stretches across the world. Its aims are clear: to promote the appreciation of, and interest in, chemistry and the related sciences amongst young people and to encourage chemistry-based careers. The Salters’ Institute delivers numerous initiatives including its Festivals of Chemistry, Awards Programme, and Curriculum Development. In 2020, the Institute launched its new Education Strategy in which the Awards and Alumni Programme Manager has a key role.

The role
