The SAA is active in promoting the advancement of the science and technology of adhesion and adhesives. We strive to accomplish our goals by disseminating technical knowledge via a range of seminars, conferences and publications. This, includes the proceedings of such meetings and a rolling newsletter [Click for direct access], which appears on this Website.

In addition, the SAA actively acknowledges individual achievement in the field via the award of medals, and prizes.

We also promote co-operation with and between learned Societies which see adhesion and adhesives as an enabling technology.
