Centre for Industry Education Collaboration

The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC) is a British education resource for information about the chemical industry in the UK.

History edit

The organisation was set up jointly by the Chemical Industries Association and the University of York in 1988 as the Chemical Industry Education Centre; it changed its name in 2014.

In June 2016 it won the Royal Society of Chemistry's Inspiration and Industry Award.[1][2]

Function edit

Research has shown that the ages from 10–14 are when children lose interest in science; the organisation seeks to have up-to-date course material for secondary school teachers that can invigorate science teaching.

It organises visits for schools to local chemical companies.

Structure edit

It is headquartered in the Chemistry department of the University of York. It is a not-for-profit organisation, and is funded by companies in the British chemical industry. It has charitable status.
