SUMMARY:3rd Commonwealth Chemistry Congress
DESCRIPTION:Commonwealth Chemistry\, the Federation of Commonwealth Chemical Sciences Societies\, is delighted to announce that the third Commonwealth Chemistry Congress (CCC2025) will take place at the Protea by Marriott Hotel Stellenbosch\, South Africa\, 11-14 May 2025. \nThe Commonwealth is a uniquely diverse group of nations with shared values and a powerful voice. It represents all corners of the globe with a population of 2.5 billion and includes both advanced economies and developing countries. It is home to 12% of the world’s researchers and accounts for around 10% of global research and development expenditure. With 1 in 3 people aged between 15 and 29 living in Commonwealth countries\, the Commonwealth is set to play an ever more important role in the world’s future – a future that will present many challenges where science can identify solutions. \nBringing together chemists from across the Commonwealth under the banner of equality for all\, the Commonwealth Chemistry Congress will promote the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, strengthen scientific capacity\, inspire and elevate the role of the chemical sciences to society and policy makers\, and celebrate achievements in chemistry. Representatives from chemical societies across the Commonwealth will join high level stakeholders from academia\, industry and government in South Africa. \nThe Congress will have a strong focus on early career chemists across the Commonwealth\, with the aim of furthering their career development\, enabling joint research and education activities\, and providing networking opportunities to share research outputs. \nAll participants will be expected to abide by the Commonwealth Chemistry Code of Conduct.

Vidal\, Amy Cannon\, Natalie O’Neil\, and Monica Hensley \nQuality education is central to creating long-lasting and impactful change in our society\, thus playing a fundamental role in catalyzing the achievement of all other United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and their associated targets. Therefore\, the inclusion of green chemistry in educational systems allows the development of citizens and scientists with the required skills to assess\, design\, and choose more benign processes for human health and the environment. \nTo empower and support the chemistry community to practice sustainability at the molecular level throughout the education continuum\, a non-profit organization known as Beyond Benign was founded in 2007. One of its initiatives\, the Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC) program\, was created to catalyze the incorporation of green chemistry into science courses at higher education institutions globally\, with their needs at the center. \nOver 200 institutions globally have committed to integrating green chemistry in their curricula on their own timelines and ways\, thus building upon unique campus environments\, strengths\, cultures and resources. In this presentation\, the adoption of green chemistry education around the world through the GCC program will be discussed\, as well as the impactful and intrinsic benefits of integrating green chemistry principles and practices in chemistry education towards the achievement of a sustainable future. \n  \n\nCannon\, A.
