The winners, to be determined by December 1, were selected from over twenty nominations and will represent a diverse group of national and international educators. They will be invited and funds provided for travel to attend the symposium and share their novel innovations in the classroom or laboratory that advance one or more topics of sustainable...

The American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute (ACS GCI) has been working across sectors with a broad spectrum of stakeholders to promote the principles of green chemistry for more than two decades. As ACS celebrates 150 years of advancing science and building communities across the globe in 2026, we are highlighting the rapidly expanding role that green chemistry plays in building a more sustainable future for the chemistry enterprise, from education to industry and beyond. At the foundation of our shared vision for leveraging the power of chemistry lies education the starting...

Many resources are available for educators to aid student learning in green chemistry, like the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, chemistry education publications, Beyond Benign, and the ACS Green Chemistry Institute. Examples include the Green Chemistry Teaching & Learning Community (GCTLC), textbooks and webinars, the green chemistry teaching modules, and so much more. The goal of this symposium is for our speakers to share which green chemistry resources they are using in their classrooms or laboratories, why they are using them, and how. This symposium welcomes submissions from a...

Celebrating students and instructors who are doing impactful, innovative work in green chemistry or green engineering has been a tradition at the ACS Green Chemistry Institute (GCI) for more than two decades. This annual symposium was established at the 2023 Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference to feature presentations contributed by both instructor and student awardees. In 2025, the awards symposium was renamed for Green Chemistry education pioneer Dr. Edward Brush to honor his significant career contributions to both curricular innovation and investing in student success.
