Students

Welcome to the first phase of our service to students. We intend to develop this area into an entire Knowledge Zone, with information designed to help students with their studies and to equip tutors with some teaching tools. We hope it will turn into a space in which students and academics worldwide can communicate and discuss issues with each other, and showcase their best work to the wider world, not least potential employers.

This is our vision, but are we on the right track? Your feedback is essential if we are to get this right. Please email your comments, needs and ideas to ICISconnect.Admin@icis.com

Meanwhile, we provide you with historical chemical prices. Note that these prices are a guide only, and must not be used to guide real-time business.

Join the discussions on our community forums plus post your photos. We're set up a students area where you can ask questions, seek placements and where we hope to build links to useful resources.

Search our magazine archives for news and features content. All magazine archives more than one year old are freely accessible. Please ensure that you select magazine sources (ACN, APC, ICB, ICBA, PCE and/or QL) and date range appropriately to return free-access material.

Listen to ICIS radio or watch ICIS TV. ICIS radio includes weekly roundups and discussions of news events; ICIS TV includes coverage of industry events and interviews with senior personnel across the global chemical industry.

Read and contribute your comments to our blogs. We are currently running six blogs - Simon Robinson's Big Biofuels Blog, covering the emerging biofuels market; John Richardson's Asian Chemical Connections, commenting on the Asian chemical markets; Malini Hariharan's India Chemicals Blog, dedicated to development of the chemical industry in India; Chemicals and the Economy Blog, written by Paul Hodges, chairman of International eChem; Doris De Guzman's Green Chemicals, examining alternative processing, new technology and other sustainable initiatives aimed at preventing pollution; and Barbara Ortner's ICIS Chemicals Confidential, taking a look at the off-beat side of reporting on the global chemicals industry. Let us have your thoughts!
