As the field of chemistry undergoes significant advancements — the growing importance of interdisciplinary research, the integration of artificial intelligence and an increasing emphasis on sustainability, among others — the undergraduate chemical sciences curricula must evolve. We must ensure students are well-prepared to meet the demands of the new market. 

With that in mind, NC State and its Integrative Sciences Initiative are excited to hold a one-day ChemEd Summit to bring together members from the industrial, academic and state and federal chemical sciences communities.

The event will have the following goals:

• Identify the essential knowledge, skills and abilities required in the dynamic landscape of the chemical/molecular sciences today.
• Collaboratively develop a shared vision for the future of chemical/molecular sciences education, considering the evolving needs and challenges in the field.
• Outline practical steps and initiatives for advancing chemical sciences education in collaboration with the broader campus and industrial community.

The ChemEd Summit host is the NC State University’s Integrative Sciences Initiative in partnership with the departments of Chemistry and Molecular and Structural Biochemistry and under the auspices of the College of Sciences Dean’s Faculty Fellow Program.
