Nominations are open for the CCE 2026 awards
The IUPAC Committee on Chemistry Education (CCE) is soliciting nominations for three types of awards, which will be made during the 28th International Conference on Chemistry Education (ICCE 2026). ICCE 2026 will be held jointly with the 17th ECRICE conference in Erzurum, Türkije, on 13 – 17 July 2026. These prizes recognise outstanding work being done in any part of the world to promote excellence in the teaching and learning of chemistry. The awards are:
- Distinguished Contribution to Chemistry Education (DCCE) Award, which recognises outstanding service to chemistry education and practice and/or professional service to chemistry education over a lifetime.
See detailed announcement (pdf). - Outstanding Early Career Researcher in Chemistry Education Award, which recognises early career researchers who are producing high-quality and impactful chemical education research as evidenced by their research output.
See detailed announcement (pdf) and nomination form (docx). - Special Recognition Award for Excellent Service to the Committee on Chemistry Education, which acknowledges individuals who have given excellent service to the CCE, i.e. to further CCE priorities and IUPAC strategic objectives related to chemistry education.
See announcement (pdf) and nomination form (docx).
Detailed description and procedures are available from this page.
