One of the most encouraging things about the ACS GCI conferences and meetings is the strong turnout of students from around the world. There is a good reason for that. These events provide an outstanding venue for learning about Green Chemistry and Engineering. It is heartening to see “The Best and the Brightest” embracing Green Chemistry and all the good that can mean for our planet. You could certainly sense that enthusiasm and commitment at our 2011 conference, and our 2012 event promises much more of the same, all of which will help take us and Mother Earth toward a more sustainable tomorrow.
Students attending the 2012 conference will enjoy unparalleled opportunities, including:
- Networking opportunities with some of the world’s brightest green chemistry leaders.
- Student Poster Presentations & Awards.
- Participation at the 2012 Student Workshop.
Student Workshop
Thursday, June 21, 2012
A full-day workshop designed for students who register for the conference. Undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are welcome to attend. Check back in early March 2012 for additional information.
Student Travel Awards
Through a generous grant from the National Science Foundation, we were happy to offer travel grants to US students at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels. We hope to offer student travel awards in 2012. Check back here in early 2012 for details.
CIBA TRAVEL AWARD IN GREEN CHEMISTRY
This annual award program is administered by the ACS Green Chemistry Institute® and sponsored by the Ciba Green Chemistry Student Endowment. The award is not directly related to the Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference, and recipients can choose to attend any Green Chemistry conference workshop to be held in the United States. Some do opt to attend the Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference. For more information about the CIBA Travel Award Program click here.
