The short courses should be one day in length (8:00AM – 5:00PM) and on a topic relevant to process safety. Please make sure that your short course proposal includes:
-
Overview and/or agenda for the content of the short course
-

Agreement between AIChE and Short Course Instructors
The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) and the short course instructor will equally split net revenues for the proposed short course to be held at the 2016 Global Congress on Process Safety in Houston, Texas. The courses will take place on Sunday, April 10, 2016. The cost to attend the short course will be between $500 and $600 depending on whether or not a CCPS book will be included in course materials given out. Expenses that will be deducted from gross revenue include:
- Audio/Visual equipment rental
- Coffee/snack costs (lunch will not be served)
- CCPS books given as course materials
- Site, marketing, registration, and organization costs
AIChE will provide the room for the short course at no charge, while instructors will be responsible for paying for their travel to the conference, as well as any room and board expenses.
AIChE will collect all registration fees and will make two payments to the short course instructors. Upon completion of the course AIChE will send you a check (Within 2 weeks after the conference) of partial payment and send you the second check (8-12 weeks after the conference) with the residual amount. AIChE reserves the right to cancel the short course should there be insufficient attendance.
