Register for the ACS Fall 2024 Meeting in Denver at www.ACS.org and join 15,000 of the world’s top Chemistry professionals and students. The fascinating POLY 006: CME NASA Symposium “Elevating Polymer Chemistry to New Heights-Polymers for Future Space Missions” is the result of the collaboration of the Polymer Chemistry Division (POLY) as the sponsor and the Polymeric Materials: Science & Engineering as a co-sponsor. This ACS President recommends event (PRES) is packed with cutting-edge talks and panel discussions:
8/18 Day 1 AM – Sessions on Advanced Materials, NASA Day. Venue: Sheraton Denver Downtown Plaza Ballroom F.
8/18 Day 1 PM – 2024 PMSE Student & Mentor Awards. There will be talks by the winning teams from Stanford University and TU Eindhoven. Venue: Sheraton Denver Downtown Plaza Ballroom F.
8/19 Day 2 AM – Space Chemistry Roundtable with the participation of experts from Industry, Academia and Government. Venue: Sheraton Denver Downtown Plaza Ballroom F. (This session is by invitation only).
8/19 Day 2 PM – Earth & Space Sustainability Summit featuring speakers from Northwestern University, ISS National Laboratory, NASA, Deloitte, Celanese, Northrop Grumman and NREL. Venue: Sheraton Denver Downtown Plaza Ballroom F.
8/20 Day 3 AM – Nobel Lectures featuring 2022 Nobel Laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, 2018 Nobel Laureate Frances Arnold and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) 9th Director Martin Keller. Venue: Sheraton Denver Downtown Plaza Ballroom F (this may change, check the ACS app).
The purpose of this symposium is to bring together industry, academia, and government to enlarge the global STEM talent pool. Sessions will focus on sustainable cutting-edge innovation in the chemical sciences to advance human space travel to the solar system and beyond. Event talks translate research results into new knowledge to improve the lives of people worldwide.
This symposium has attracted numerous brilliant new members to the ACS community for its focus on inspirational research, industry, and new career paths. Over 4,300 STEM professionals and students have attended past events. Since 2017, this symposium has been endorsed by all ACS Presidents and the leaders of up to 32 ACS technical divisions.
