Symposium on Industrial Chemistry and Innovation

    Sponsored by the ACS Corporation Associates

The half-day NERM2008 symposium on industrial chemistry innovation provides an an opportunity for us to spotlight industrial research groups that are pushing the envelope, creating new products and processes to meet market needs, improve efficiency, or increase sustainability in manufacturing.

The event also presents an opportunity for students and academic researchers to peer into the world of industrial research and development. It is co-listed as a part of the careers development workshop.

The 2008 ACS Northeast Regional Industrial Innovation Award finalists are our keynote speakers. The winner will receive the award at the conference dinner and chemistry cruise following this event.
