"The Society has over 45,000 members (mostly in the UK with about 15% overseas) and about 320 full-time staff. As a learned society, the Society provides a forum of chemists and chemistry for the exchange of ideas and results and to provide a network to encourage collaboration on new ventures. The Society recognises achievement through awards and endowed lectureships and assists young chemists by bursaries for various purposes. The Society is a major world publisher of journals and books and provides information services through its extensive library and database system. As the professional body for chemistry in the UK the Society is responsible for maintaining high standards of quality in the training of chemists. The Society assesses and accredits degree courses in chemistry and awards its own qualifications, including Chartered Chemist."

Society for Applied Spectroscopy
http://www.s-a-s.org/

"This home page is organized to disseminate information regarding the Society, its journal, Applied Spectroscopy, and related spectroscopy events. The objective of this Society is to advance and disseminate knowledge and information concerning the art and science of spectroscopy and other allied sciences. The scope of this Society is to undertake and promote activities which shall accomplish the objective. The term spectroscopy as used here means the science and art of absorption, emission, Raman, mass, and related forms of spectral study for determining the composition and structure of matter. To accomplish the objective, this Society and/or Local Sections may conduct conferences or symposia on scientific subjects and may, in addition to the Journal, publish or give financial support to the publication of other scientifically useful information pertaining to spectroscopy."
