Join us for the ACS Valorization Strategy Session, an engaging event for all ACS researchers!

This session aims to raise awareness of valorization as a key strategic objective within ACS, while providing a platform to explore real-world case studies, practical tools, and best practices. Through interactive break-out sessions, participants will collaborate to generate new ideas and develop tangible strategies to strengthen our impact. Be part of the conversation shaping the future of valorization at ACS.

The program will start with a networking lunch, followed by keynote lectures, interactive break-out sessions, and a closing plenary discussion. We will wrap up the day with drinks.

ACS Valorization Grant

The ACS Valorization Grant will be launched later this year (September 2026). This session provides an excellent opportunity to test and further develop your ideas in preparation for a potential application.

During the break-out sessions on June 29, researchers are invited to pitch early-stage ideas for a valorisation grant proposal and receive feedback from peers and experts. These ideas may cover different forms of valorisation, including inside-out, outside-in & public-private partnerships, and societal outreach.
