The 28th Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference will be held in June 2024. Please look for the Call for Symposia in Summer 2023 with a deadline in early October 2023.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Respect are core values of the American Chemical Society and the ACS Green Chemistry Institute. We are committed to promoting an inclusive, diverse, and respectful conference for participants, organizers, and attendees. We recognize the shared responsibility needed for a safe and productive meeting environment regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, religion, race, or nationality. All GC&E participants are expected to treat others with respect to facilitate open dialogue and effective discussions.
We ask that symposia coordinators be mindful of the following guidelines as they are finalizing their speaker lists for GC&E.
