ACS is a nonprofit membership organization and home to the world’s scientific community, advancing, connecting, and empowering scientists.
Founded in 1876, we bring people, ideas, and resources together to fuel discovery, grow careers, and support the determination it takes to move science forward.
Through world‑leading publications, conferences, community networks, and education and career resources, ACS helps science — and scientists — make a lasting impact on society.
The chemical science community is making the world a better place. We're here to help.
Our community's impact is incredible. Developing medicines, vaccines and diagnostics when the world needs them most. Keeping our food and water safe, clean and in good supply. Creating revolutionary technologies to generate and store clean energy. Inspiring generations of young minds, helping them forge their paths to fulfilling careers and lives. And so much more.
Our strategy sets out how we will help the chemical science community: to teach and learn; to discover and share; to practise and accomplish; to speak up and be heard.
Together, we will make the world more open, more sustainable, and more equal.
At STEM Learning, our commitment to STEM education is part of everything we do.
Whether that’s delivering teacher CPD (continuing professional development) in STEM subjects, bringing STEM role models into schools as part of the STEM Ambassador Programme or providing bespoke, long-term support for groups of schools in collaboration with companies through our STEM Impact Fund, our aim is always the same – to improve lives through STEM education.
We don’t do this alone! We work in collaboration with the UK Government, employers large and small, organisations and educational establishments to deliver positive STEM interactions for teachers, young people and beyond.
We also work with a wide range of strategic partners and supporters, so if that is you, then get in touch.
