 Core Values

  • Research in chemistry, chemical engineering, and other chemistry-related fields is essential to progress in health, quality of life, and economic prosperity.
  • Research is central to the educational process, especially at post-graduate levels. It prepares new professionals and is a key partner in the process of discovery, innovation, and development of basic and applied knowledge.
  • Chemical science and engineering perspectives play a central role in many disciplines.
  • Research, education, and applications draw the maximum leverage from collaborative approaches.

*By design, milestones that measure progress on CCR's goals are the projects being undertaken by CCR's four goal-aligned Action Networks. CCR reps are encouraged to suggest projects and join project teams.
