Join publishing experts Alex Castro, Wiley Editor, João Soares, Can. J. Chem. Eng. Editor-in-Chief, and Katherine Prairie, Can. J. Chem. Eng. Managing Editor for a 360˚ look into the publishing world of scholarly and technical papers. In this workshop, you will learn how to integrate manuscript preparation into your daily routine and prepare a clear and well-organized manuscript for submission. We will discuss the review process, share tips on how to expedite your manuscript’s review (and acceptance), and cover what to expect during the pre-publication process that follows acceptance. The workshop will conclude with valuable guidance on how to promote your published paper and a look at future trends and developments in scientific publishing, before an open discussion with our experts.
Are you considering going to graduate school for a Master’s or PhD? Bring your burning questions to representatives from the different graduate chemical engineering programs across Canada.
This competition is open to both undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in a chemical engineering program. Participants will be delivering a 10-15 minute non-technical oral presentation with a 2-3 minute question period. In this competition, participants are encouraged to present papers of general interest concerning the following: a critical evaluation of their educational experiences, innovative learning/teaching strategies and materials, and other topics that address chemistry or chemical engineering education.

The 3-Minute Pitch (3MP) competition follows the spirit of the Three Minute Thesis (3MT)® competition that originated at the University of Queensland. This session is an opportunity for graduate students to showcase the innovation and impact of their research, as well as their innovative chemical engineering business ideas, to a wider audience of the chemical engineering community.
Participants have three minutes or less to present their research pitch to a panel of non-specialist judges. The challenge is to present complex technical information in an engaging, accessible, and compelling way.
