ICE - Inorganic Chemistry Exchange of Canada

ICE is a research exchange program that offers summer employment opportunities to undergraduate students in chemistry, who will have completed the equivalent of two or three full years of study by the end of the school year in which they apply. We send talented undergraduates to carry out cutting-edge summer research in inorganic chemistry at participating universities from coast to coast across Canada.

ICE Faculty are committed to providing stimulating research experiences to participating students in one or more aspects of the broad field of inorganic chemistry, including synthesis, spectroscopy, catalysis, materials, and biological applications. There's a whole Periodic Table out there, and infinite ways to explore and exploit it!

A core element (pun intended) of the program is the end-of-summer conference, at which the ICE Scholars present their results to their peers and supervisors, and the faculty hold their annual general meeting. Our goal is to give motivated young researchers hands-on experience in the research laboratory, and to help them establish a lasting network in the national Inorganic community.

Total number of ICE Scholars: 104 (106 exchanges, with two repeat ICE Scholars)
Total number of faculty supervisors: 45
Total number of participating institutions: 22
