Call for Presentations and Posters for ACS CERM 2026
Chemistry Beyond Boundaries: Building Trust, Breaking Myths brings together researchers, industry leaders, and community partners to showcase how open, evidence-based chemistry can solve global challenges and counter misinformation. Through sessions on polymers, sustainability, AI, biologics, sensing, catalysis, additive manufacturing, and more, we’ll bridge disciplines and sectors—and reinforce chemistry’s role as a trusted force for innovation.
Advanced Polymer Characterization
We welcome new insights into polymer analysis—whether it’s novel in situ spectroscopies, high-resolution scattering, microscopy methods, or multi-modal approaches—that deepen our understanding of structure–property relationships.
Sustainability & Renewable Energy
Please share advances in green synthesis, circular-economy materials, or energy-storage and conversion chemistries (from bio-derived monomers to next-gen batteries and photovoltaics).
AI & Automation
Whether you’re building machine-learning models for reaction prediction, deploying autonomous labs, or developing digital twins and virtual experiments, we want to hear how AI is transforming your workflow.
Chemical Biology & Therapeutics
Inviting talks and posters on bioconjugation strategies, genome-editing chemistries, small-molecule probes, or any chemistry-driven therapeutic platform.
Environmental Chemistry & Sensing
Share your latest in sensor development (wearables, portable or remote systems), in situ remediation chemistries, or community-science monitoring initiatives.
Advanced Catalysis
Whether it’s light-driven, field-effect, enzyme-inspired, or molecular-editing catalysis, we’re interested in breakthroughs that streamline syntheses and reduce waste.
Additive Manufacturing of Advanced Materials
We welcome presentations on 3D-printing and additive-manufacturing techniques for functional catalysts, scaffolds, composites, or devices—at any scale.
Open Call: General Chemistry Topics
We also encourage poster and talk proposals across all chemical disciplines—including regional environmental health (e.g., Ohio River Basin studies), space and astrochemistry, metallurgy, synthetic biology, sports science, soft matter, microscopy innovations, and beyond—especially where projects cross traditional boundaries or foster broader public understanding of chemistry.
Submission Details
Talks: 20 minutes (+ 5 min Q&A)
Posters: 1 page (visual + summary)
Abstract Guidance: In 2–3 sentences, describe your work and briefly note how it advances trust, openness, or evidence-based practice in chemistry.
