Abstract
This two-day symposium is organized by CME and NASA with the principal sponsorship of the ACS Division of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry (I&EC). This symposium is part of the five-day ACS Fall 2022 Meeting at the Chicago McCormick Convention Center. Typical pre-COVID attendance of national meetings was more than 15,000. Over 2,800 STEM professionals and students have attended past CME NASA Symposiums from 2017 to 2021. The 2020 symposium was cancelled due to COVID and the 2021 event was online due to a COVID surge.
The CME NASA STEM Symposiums focus on bringing together industry, academia, government and the public to enlarge and enhance the global STEM talent pool. It will feature the resiliency of science cutting-edge innovations in the chemical sciences to advance human space travel to the solar system and beyond, and translate them into new knowledge to improve the lives of people and make their dreams a reality. Two days packed with inspirational research, industry, jobs and new STEM career paths.
