Call for CSC (x2026) Symposia Proposals

Consistent with the conference theme of "Erasing Boundaries", x2026 will bring chemists and chemical engineers together. The technical program organizers (Drs. Todd Hoare and Alison Thompson) will be seeking collaboration opportunities between the societies, so as to truly take advantage of the concurrent conference model that makes x2026 unique – please indicate, on the form, if you see potential opportunities for such collaboration.  Proposed symposia may be merged where appropriate. However, stand-alone CSC or CSChE symposia are welcomed and will be an integral part of the concurrent conference. Learn more about the conference here.

Any specific questions regarding chemistry education symposia can be directed to the sub-discipline co-organizers (Andy Dicks: andrew.dicks@utoronto.ca and Aya Sakaya: aya.sakaya@utoronto.ca).

Chem ED-Virtual Seminar Series

The Chemistry Education Division of Chemical Institute of Canada brings together members in the field of Chemistry Education.

The goals of our seminar series are: 

• Foster community and sharing of expertise among Chemistry Education Division members

• Provide to educators who may not always have access to wider community audiences opportunities to share their teaching and learning scholarship and activities.

• Provide a platform for traditionally marginalized voices in chemistry education, including those in non-traditional faculty roles.

• Provide opportunities for discussion of topics and for conversations in formats not commonly seen in departmental speaker events or conference presentations.

We are pleased to introduce a new series of virtual talks covering a wide range of topics in chemistry education, including laboratory education, online learning analytics and assessment, chemistry in Indigenous culture, BIPOC experiences in chemistry academia and much more. Learn More Here

WIDE-Virtual Seminar Series

The Working for Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity (WIDE) committee is a permanent committee of the Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC). CSC WIDE works to create a fair, barrier-free chemistry community that understands, values, and adheres to the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).

WIDE is proud to host a series of four webinars (two in the Fall of 2024 and two in the Spring of 2025) focusing on topics related to EDI, including:

• Accessibility in research institutions   

• EDI practices in teaching chemistry

• Conference safety: Resources and bringing awareness

• Biases in award selection processes and how to change it

• Guidelines for land acknowledgements

• Indigenization of the curriculum
