ChemEd 2012 - 1 Jul 2012

1-4 July 2012, SA

EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION EXTENDED - 14 MAY 2012

2012 is the year of reflection on the great activities of IYC in 2011 and determining how those initiatives can be maintained and improved. ChemEd 2012 is the opportunity for chemistry educators, secondary and tertiary, and researchers from across Australia and the world to come together post-IYC and share ideas and strategies, and celebrate chemistry in its many guises.

The 2012 conference will be held in Adelaide, South Australia with the 3 universities, the Australian Science & Maths School, RiAus and famous wineries and restaurants nearby.

The venue is Immanuel College, a secondary co-educational school with excellent and modern conference, accommodation and recreational facilities. The venue is close to seaside Glenelg and also easily accessible to Adelaide CBD and the airport.

Confirmed keynote speakers include Prof Renee Cole and Prof MaryKay Orgill (both US) and Prof Peter Mahaffy (Can.). All are involved in researching strategies to enhance the teaching and learning of chemistry across secondary and tertiary levels. Biographies are included in the link to conference website below.

Themes include Experiencing Chemistry, Teaching and Learning Strategies, the National Chemistry Curriculum, Resources for Learning and Eat, Drink, Think Chemistry (including food and wine).

You are cordially invited to possibly the final stand-alone chemistry education conference for the RACI, and we really look forward to welcoming you in Adelaide next July.
