The Council for Chemical Research grew out of a specific need for greater support for research in the chemical sciences and engineering. Concerned about the decline of productive interaction between research universities and industrial R&D laboratories, in 1979 Dr. Malcolm E. Pruitt, VP for Research for the Dow Chemical Company, convened a meeting of the U. S. academic and industrial chemical leadership to see if a more cooperative environment could be restored. This led to the formation of an organization emphasizing basic research and high quality education in the chemical sciences and...
CCR Membership is open to organizations that maintain a staff and facilities for the purpose of conducting a technical program in the chemical sciences, chemical engineering or related disciplines in the US. Why Join Ask yourself: Are you relying more and more on other organizations for your R&D pipelines? Are you spending too much time and energy to establish research agreements with universities and government labs? Do you find IP issues to be the main obstacle for research partnerships? Would you like to have more of a say in U.S. graduate school curricula and preparation of future...
