SUMMARY:ChemEd 2025
DESCRIPTION:Description \nIn 2025\, ChemEd will be hosted by Colorado School of Mines (First ChemEd ever hosted in Colorado!) . The conference will take place on campus allowing for hands-on labs\, workshops\, and demonstrations\, along with a variety of events focused on teaching chemistry. It is a chance to be part of a community of dedicated and involved science educators. \nThe first ChemEd was held at the University of Waterloo and has matured having established many ChemEd traditions\, such as the Reg Friesen lecture\, an ice cream social\, children/family program\, Mole Day breakfast and Mole Stroll/Run. The end-of-conference celebration showcasing the hosting community was a tradition that began in its inaugural year. \nWho should attend? \n\n\nThis biennial conference is the largest in North America for educators involved in teaching high school and introductory chemistry. It is an opportunity for educators to gather for five days to learn and exchange their teaching ideas in a friendly and motivating environment. In recent years\, the conference attendance has ranged from 400 to 800 educators.

SUMMARY:ACS GCI Green & Sustainable Chemistry Summer School
DESCRIPTION:The ACS Green and Sustainable Chemistry Summer School (GSCSS) is a highly selective week-long program for graduate students and postdoctoral chemists and engineers. Each year\, approximately 60 exceptional students from North\, Central\, and South America and the Caribbean are selected from a large pool of applicants and gather for this fully funded once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The American Chemical Society pays for all eligible travel and program costs. \nOrganized and hosted by the Green Chemistry Institute since 2003\, the summer school typically features more than a dozen expert instructors who share knowledge and skills from across a broad spectrum of topics directly relevant to green chemistry and sustainability. Throughout the program\, students attend lectures and interactive study/project sessions\, present posters about their own research\, hold discussions\, and spend time networking both with each other and the GSCSS faculty. Alumni of this program have gone on to become leaders in many green chemistry and sustainability-related fields and provide participants with an extensive network of professional contacts.
