Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars will explore scientific solutions to global sustainability challenges, including sustainable energy, at the 2018 ACS Summer School on Green Chemistry & Sustainable Energy.

The program will be held July 10–17 at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. Its curriculum will include presentations by green chemistry and sustainable energy experts, poster sessions, collaborative projects, and discussions on the roles of science and technology in solving global sustainability challenges. The 2018 schedule will be similar to the 2017 program. 

The Summer School is open to those currently studying in the Americas. Most applicants are enrolled in or have completed advanced degree programs in chemistry or chemical engineering, but applicants from related disciplines are welcome to apply. 

Coach-class airfare, ground transportation, shared on-campus housing, meals, and all program costs are provided to participants. International attendees will be reimbursed for the cost of visas.

The Summer School is proudly sponsored by the ACS, ACS Petroleum Research Fund, and ACS Green Chemistry Institute. Articles on this annual event have been published in Chemical & Engineering News.
