The Controlled Release Society (CRS) was founded in the United States over two decades ago to advance the science and technology of controlling the release and delivery of active agents. It is recognised worldwide as the premier professional society in this still developing field. The CRS is establishing local "chapters" of the organisation around the World and the UKCRS was formed in 1994 to cater for our needs here in the UK. The UKCRS intends to address a broad range of research fields based on controlled release which include agriculture, veterinary, food and cosmetic sciences. The Committee has drawn up several key aims and objectives, principally:
The successful establishment of a Local Chapter of the Controlled Release Society is always a great event for the Society. First of all I would like to thank all those people who have taken the efforts to inaugurate the UK Local Chapter. They have been very effective in organizing the first UKCRS meeting and also in establishing a Newsletter and I am proud to be invited to contribute to the first issue. The controlled release of bioactive materials has become a multidisciplinary research effort around the world with the common aim to improve the welfare of mankind. The goal of the Controlled Release Society is to coordinate these efforts to create a common platform of discussion for the exchange of results and knowledge. It is felt by the CRS Executive Committee that realisation of these prestigious aims has also to be based on local activities around the world and therefore the formation of Local Chapters has been stimulated. In the years to come CRS will pay up to US$ 8000 per year to one of the Local Chapters for e.g. funding of a congress. The UKCRS is encouraged to submit an application. The UK plays a leading part in science and technology worldwide. I am convinced that the UKCRS will follow this tradition and will become a very strong and effective part of CRS. I wish the UKCRS Local Chapter with all of my heart: vivat, crescat, floreat!
