The 2024 Conference theme:
CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE IN CHEMISTRY EDUCATION
This year’s C3 conference, held at Trent University, marks the milestone 50th anniversary of this nationally recognized conference in Canadian chemistry education. This year’s conference aims to bring together those involved in chemistry education across Canada and at all levels of instruction (lab vs. lecture, high school, college, and university) to discuss the history of chemistry education in Canada over the last 50 years and to share our experiences in the pursuit of supporting student success (the good, the bad, and the ugly!).
We encourage chemistry educators at all levels to submit their conference abstract for oral or poster presentation formats.
