The Controlled Release Society (CRS) was founded in the US in 1978 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 United Kingdom Controlled Release Society was formed in 1994. In 1998, Ireland joined forces and the UK and the United Kingdom & Ireland Controlled Release Society (UKICRS) was formed.

The UKICRS addresses a broad range of research fields based on controlled release which include agriculture, veterinary, food and cosmetic sciences.

More information on this event will be available in due course.
