Key areas of regulatory challenge 2026 update

Are you interested in finding out which research needs ECHA added to its Key areas of regulatory challenge report? If so, this webinar is for you. It will cover these topics in detail, followed by a Q&A session where you can ask questions and learn more about the relevance of these topics to the work of other agencies such as the European Environment Agency (EEA) and European Food Safety authority (EFSA).

The Importance of Chemical Research to the U.S. Economy

Chemistry plays a pivotal role in the strength of the U.S. economy and the advancement of humankind. Chemists' achievements include life-saving pharmaceuticals, advanced energy solutions, improved agricultural productivity, and novel materials used in products from clothing to electronic devices. The many sectors reliant on the U.S. chemical economy account for about 25% of the U.S. GDP and support 4.1 million U.S. jobs.

The award consists of $5,000 and a certificate. Up to $2,500 for travel expenses to the meeting at which the award will be presented will be reimbursed.

Raising Safety in Research: Engaging Graduate Students in Laboratory Safety: Opportunities for Empowerment, Collaboration & Professional Development

Learn about creating a positive safety culture for graduate students in the ACS Fall 2024 symposium, “Raising Safety in Research: Engaging Graduate Students in Laboratory Safety: Opportunities for Empowerment, Collaboration & Professional Development.” 

Through talks, a panel discussion, and a networking component, team members from the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety will share strategies to address compliance and empower students to be active in creating safe research environments. 

Models to Predict the Removal of Emerging Micropollutants from Water by Novel Adsorbents in Fixed-Bed Column Processes

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through the Innovative Water Technology Grant Program, is seeking applications for research to develop, test and deploy predictive models for novel adsorbents and estimate the effectiveness of these adsorbents to remove emerging micropollutants in drinking water and wastewater treatment operations.

Rising Stars in Green Chemistry Education Award

To recognize outstanding early-career scholars who have committed to a significant focus on green chemistry and/or sustainability in curricula for teaching chemistry, chemical engineering, or a closely related field.

Two awards will be given annually. Each award will consist of a certificate, a $1,000 honorarium, and travel support for the awardee and one student (up to $2,000 each) to attend the annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference (GC&E) to receive the award and present their work.

Open to all Nationalities
