Center for Plastics Innovation
Encourage community and network-building activities for early-career researchers.

About this project:

The Center for Plastics Innovation (CPI) is raising funds to support and empower its early-career researchers, including graduate students and postdoctoral associates, in leading activities that extend beyond their individual research projects. These efforts aim to strengthen the bonds within CPI’s multidisciplinary community while making its mission and people more accessible to the broader University of Delaware community and beyond.

How your support makes a difference!

With your gift, the Center for Plastics Innovation can: 

  • Reduce financial barriers by helping cover conference registration and travel expenses. 
  • Support Graduate Student & Postdoc Group initiatives that foster collaboration and mentorship. 
  • Organize outreach activities and events that connect research with real-world impact and inspire future scientists.

Your generosity helps build a stronger, more connected CPI community, where early-career researchers thrive as leaders, communicators and changemakers in the field of sustainable materials and beyond.
