The West Midlands Chemistry Teachers' Centre has organised Lecture Demonstrations and Courses for students and teachers since 1969. The WMCTC is organised by a Committee of volunteers.

Lecture Demonstrations for students are usually held in the Large Lecture Theatre (Haworth 101) of the Haworth Building in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham starting at 7.00 pm unless stated otherwise. The Haworth Building is situated close to the West Gate of the University, a couple of minutes walk from the University Station. (Yellow Zone Building Y2) Download map.

Teachers' Meetings are open to all teachers with an interest in Chemistry or Chemical Education. The venue and the starting time depends on the event.

The P F Frankland Memorial Trust

The Trust was established in memory of Percy Faraday Frankland , son of Edward and godson of Michael Faraday, and Professor of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham. The Trust was established in 1952 with the RIC, with the intention of establishing a PF Frankland Memorial Lecture at the University in association with the Local Section, for "the advancement of the cause of education and the promotion of the study of science".
