Chemical Landmark Scheme
The Chemical Landmark Scheme (CLS) is a Royal Society of Chemistry initiative recognising sites where the chemical sciences have made a significant contribution to health, wealth, or quality of life. The blue plaques are publicly visible, and are intended to give everyone an insight into chemistry's relevance to everyday lives.[1] CLS plaques are blue, and hexagonal.
A list of plaques awarded to date can be found below.
