With support from the Division of Chemistry, Dorothy Zolandz at the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) will engage a cross section of the chemistry community, informal science education community, and learning assessment community in a workshop to provide guidance in the planning and design of activities to celebrate the International Year of Chemistry 2011 (IYC 2011) in the US. The workshop will take place in Washington, DC, in late August or early September, 2010. At the workshop, approximately a dozen experts will provide guidance and input into an appropriate US celebration of the IYC. Participant expertise will include education, chemistry research, assessment, and communications. Input from representatives from societies that have participated in previous International Years will also be sought. IYC 2011 is a worldwide celebration supported by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). NAS (in cooperation with the American Chemical Society) is seeking ways to increase public awareness of the benefits of chemistry and to excite young people about chemistry by establishing a strong and diverse portfolio of activities related to the United States? celebration of IYC 2011. The ultimate goal is effective public communication of science through outreach, evaluation of that outreach, and dissemination of lessons learned about outreach effectiveness as a result of IYC activities. The workshop will bring focus and appropriate assessment to IYC planning efforts, and will help identify means of engaging underrepresented groups in the IYC.

在化学部的支持下，美国国家科学院（NAS）的Dorothy Zolandz将在一个研讨会上邀请化学界、非正式科学教育界和学习评估界的代表参加，为美国庆祝2011年国际化学年（IYC 2011）的活动规划和设计提供指导。研讨会将于2010年8月底或9月初在哥伦比亚特区华盛顿举行。 在研讨会上，大约12名专家将为美国适当庆祝国际年提供指导和投入。 参与者的专业知识将包括教育，化学研究，评估和通信。还将征求参加以往国际年的社会代表的意见。2011年国际化学年是由联合国教育、科学及文化组织（UNESCO）和国际纯粹与应用化学联合会（IUPAC）支持的全球性庆祝活动。国家科学院（与美国化学学会合作）正在寻求各种方法，通过建立一个与美国有关的强大和多样化的活动组合，提高公众对化学益处的认识，并激发年轻人对化学的兴趣。庆祝IYC 2011。 最终目标是通过外联活动、外联活动评估和传播国际年活动在外联活动有效性方面的经验教训，有效地向公众传播科学。讲习班将使国际年的规划工作有重点并得到适当的评估，并将帮助确定如何使代表人数不足的群体参与国际年。
