These Green Chemistry Education awards for K-12 educators are designed to support the integration of green chemistry into educational settings. Beyond Benign hopes to empower and support K-12 educators to prepare their students with the skills to innovate for a sustainable future through these grants.
Pittcon is a dynamic, international conference and exposition on laboratory science, a venue for presenting the latest advances in analytical research and scientific instrumentation, and a platform for continuing education and science-enhancing opportunity.
The aim of this international conference is to act as a venue for green chemists, engineers and educators to meet on the Emerald Isle, share best practice and strengthen collaboration, and for global thought leaders to offer insights and shape the future direction of green chemistry and engineering education, research and industrial implementation.
To acknowledge an instructor who has made a profound and transformative impact on the future of green chemistry and sustainability in education through cumulative contributions spanning a significant portion of their career.
To recognize innovation and creativity in the development of new and/or significantly updated curricular materials infused with green chemistry and/or sustainability concepts.
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
Every year as part of the Green Chemistry Commitment Program, Beyond Benign ask our GCC Signers to complete an Audit Questionnaire survey to report on the status of their green chemistry journeys at their institutions. This helps Beyond Benign to assess patterns of where and how green chemistry is included in higher education institutions and allows us to better serve our Signers through the GCC Program.
