2012 Celebrates 25 Years of NCW!
NCW encourages chemists and chemistry enthusiasts to build awareness of chemistry at the local level. Local Sections, businesses, schools, and individuals are invited to organize or participate in events in their communities with a common goal: To promote the value of chemistry in everyday life. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the NCW program and we are excited to partner with the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Net). Read more about this partnership.
