ACRICE
African Conference on Research in Chemistry Education (ACRICE)
The African Conference on Research in Chemistry Education (ACRICE) is FASC’s official conference on chemistry education, launched in Addis Ababa/Ethiopia in December 2013. ACRICE is intended as a platform for understanding and enriching chemistry education for the preparation of African citizens who can deal with local and global challenges. To that end, every two years chemistry educators and researchers at all levels are invited by ACRICE to share vital knowledge and strategies for teaching and learning in culturally responsive ways.
