This PPT slide, part of the 28-slide Scenario Planning: Oxford Approach PowerPoint presentation, outlines the Royal Society of Chemistry's (RSC) initiative focused on scenario planning to anticipate the future of chemical sciences over the next 10 to 20 years. It begins with a brief background on the RSC, highlighting its historical formation in the 1840s and its current membership exceeding 55,000. This establishes the RSC's significant presence and reputation in the field of chemical sciences.
The business challenge section emphasizes the impact of evolving scientific and technological trends on the practice of chemistry. It indicates that the RSC sought to understand how these changes would affect not only the industry and academia, but also society at large. The inquiry into the future of chemistry reflects a proactive approach to navigating uncertainties in the field.
The intervention segment details the RSC's response, initiated in late 2014, to develop a long-term planning program aimed at predicting and understanding future developments in chemical sciences. Key questions posed by the society highlight critical areas of concern, such as the potential evolution of the chemistry field, the sustainability of academic chemistry departments, funding challenges for research, and the implications of advanced technology on scientific inquiry.
Overall, this slide captures the RSC's strategic foresight efforts to prepare for anticipated changes in the chemical sciences. It serves as a call to action for stakeholders to engage in discussions about the future direction of the field and the necessary adaptations required to thrive in a transforming environment.
This slide is part of the Scenario Planning: Oxford Approach PowerPoint presentation.
