January 2011 marks the beginning of the International Year of Chemistry. The Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC) is leading the Canadian activities which will be devoted to the celebration of chemical sciences and will aim to reach over 500,000 Canadians.
We encourage all CIC members to get involved throughout the year. CIC has been active in planning events for 2011, some of which include:
- Global Water Experiment, connecting countries around the world to solve current water issues;
- YouTube Video Contest, giving high school students a chance to use their creativity in chemistry to win a $2,500 scholarship funding;
- Science Rendezvous, a one day national event aiming to bring science to the public;
- Public Lecture Series, bringing Joe Schwarcz and Pierre Beaumier to speak on interesting topics in chemistry across Canada; and
- Canadian Chemistry Milestones, celebrating significant contributions by Canadians. See the latest press release.
Local sections across the nation are organizing events in their communities. You can see what's happening in an area near you by following the Chemical Institute of Canada - International Year of Chemistry website for more information and to see how you can get involved
