The ACS Committee on Ethics (ETHX) is pleased to announce a call for nominations for the ChemLuminary Award for Outstanding Local Section and International Chemical Sciences Chapter Programming Related to the Promotion of Ethics in Chemistry. This award recognizes innovative, impactful and inclusive programming that advances ethical awareness, practice, and dialogue in the chemical enterprise. All ACS Local Sections and International Chemical Sciences Chapters are invited to self-nominate.
The nominations should be submitted by Local Sections and International Chemical Sciences Chapters via the annual report. The nominations are due by February 15th of each calendar year. The self-nomination must demonstrate the innovative aspects of the activity. Information about the ethics event/activity must include the following in the self-nomination process: attendance, impact on the ACS members, joint planning with other groups (if any), and the overall success of the event. Examples of previous award winners include an inclusive process to develop a local section-specific conduct policy to clarify expectations of members’ professional behavior, and a public museum exhibit about unintended consequences of chemical innovations.
