Doing a World of Good Through Research and Innovation

Our need for groundbreaking ideas and innovative solutions is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. 

Chemical engineers are at the forefront: inventing, innovating, and re-imagining ways to make our lives and our world better.

The Langer Prize provides funding, builds a network of passionate individuals, and validates students’ work and ideas at the highest level.” – Albert Keung, 2023 Langer Fellow

The Langer Prize, named in honor of Bob Langer, provides an unrestricted grant of up to $100,000 to advance their original approach or idea which may have commercial application.

The AIChE Legacy Society was established in 2007 to honor all who include AIChE in their long-term plans through a bequest provision, life-income gift, or other deferred giving arrangement. Planning today furthers the profession in the future. 

Since the campaign launched, the AIChE Foundation invested your gifts to work in the following ways: 

• $475K awarded to early career researchers through the Langer Prize 

• 50 Legacy Society members remember AIChE in their wills today to impact the future tomorrow 

You can do a world of good by contributing today to those who never stop inventing and innovating to ensure a brighter tomorrow, please visit the AIChE Foundation or contact:
