On Innovation Day young innovators and industry leaders come together to celebrate innovation in the chemical industry today and seek solutions for tomorrow’s challenges.
For the fifth year in a row, the Chemical Heritage Foundation and the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) will host Innovation Day, featuring the Warren G. Schlinger Symposium and the awarding of the SCI Gordon E. Moore Medal.
The Warren G. Schlinger Symposium
The Schlinger Symposium will bring together senior executives, research and technology managers, and young industry scientists to examine frontier research areas in the chemical industry. This year’s sessions will explore sustainable chemistry and engineering, the chemistry of energy sources, electronic materials, health materials, and emerging global economies.
Attendees can participate in one of these sessions and in opening and closing plenary sessions. An additional poster session will feature presentations by young industry researchers and a chance for discussion and networking.
