Description
The American Chemical Society (ACS) presents the ChemLuminary Awards to honor work by its local sections, divisions, regional meetings, and international chemical sciences chapters. The awards recognize programming, outreach, and operations that serve communities and strengthen the Society, rather than fund new research or projects.
Award descriptions span public outreach, member engagement, education, safety, career development, and collaborations. ACS celebrates the volunteers and groups behind these activities for their service and for connecting chemical sciences communities with the public.
