Share
The BCCE is a meeting sponsored by the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society.
The conference welcomes chemistry educators from around the globe and who operate in all education sectors and levels. The Biennial Conference on Chemical Education (BCCE) is a meeting sponsored by the Division of Chemical Education (DivCHED) of the American Chemical Society (ACS). The conference welcomes chemistry educators from around the globe and who operate in all education sectors (academia/government/industry) and levels (primary, secondary, two-year and four-year undergraduate, and graduate/postdoctoral). BCCE 2026, like its predecessors, will provide the chemistry education community with opportunities to interact and engage, via a combination of symposia, workshops, poster sessions, exhibits, and spaces for both formal (community conversations) and informal (birds-of-a-feather sessions) dialogues.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made BCCE 2026 such a wonderful week and to Sara Cottle for capturing some of what made this year’s conference so special.
