ACS International Center™ Trajectory • The IC has long been a virtual hub for information and resources, however, how can the site morph over time to be more robust? • Opportunity to take pause and reflect on the past four years and look at the horizon, identify new areas of focus • Site will most likely take on two initiatives- focus on global collaboration and adopting a more digital & social media driven approach • In late 2016, we added the Global Collaboration tab • Help build the case for global scientific collaboration • New resources available to share • Plans to introduce media to the site: • Video testimonials on successful partnerships • Address need to help prepare tomorrow’s chemist: • How can the International Center help prepare trainees for dynamic careers in research, industry and society? • Asynchronous learning, links to best practices, etc.

ACS International Center Questions for Consideration • ACS Board Worldwide Strategy – How can we utilize the IC to help implement the worldwide strategy? • Support discourse & action on United Nations Sustainable Development Goals • Industry Engagement – How can the IC be part of the solution to preparing trainees for careers in the global chemical industry? • Asynchronous learning, links to resources, including best practices for collaboration – Need for industry contacts, engage with the Society, identify industrial needs to develop industry interest in site and long-term outcomes • Beyond the Site – What is the role of the International Center beyond its virtual home? • How to leverage ACS partnership • Foster global networks of exchange • How to enhance communication, support science, & create global policy impact
