CIC/SCI Canada, the business forum of the Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC)/Society for Chemical Industry (SCI), will host its annual Awards Dinner in Toronto on April 7, 2016. The event recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the chemical sciences and engineering related industries. In addition, CIC/SCI Canada will recognize the highest performing graduating undergraduate students in chemistry, biochemistry and chemical engineering from universities across Canada.

The CIC/SCI Canada Green, Clean and Sustainable Chemistry Seminar, featuring the award recipients and other leaders from industry, will precede the dinner. Reflecting the CIC/SCI motto of “where science meets business,” speakers will focus on challenges and successes in the chemistry industry and provide stimulating discussion along with valuable networking opportunities.
The UK-based Society for Chemical Industry (SCI) and the Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC) signed an agreement in October 2012 in which the SCI Canada Section merged with the CIC Economics and Business Management (EBM) Division. The merged association is now CIC/SCI Canada, the business forum of the CIC. “The strategic merger has enabled CIC to strengthen its growing relationships with industry leaders and has ultimately raised the profile of the CIC/SCI Awards Dinner,” Bruce Lennox, CIC Past Chair.
