The Colloquium is designed to give undergraduate chemistry and life science majors a broad overview of the current state of research in the health and beauty care industry. Some of the program highlights include: A discussion of how health and beauty care companies utilize R&D to bring products to the market — from concept/discovery to pharmacy or store shelves. A review of technologies — such as genomics, molecular modeling and disease pathway mapping — on which R&D is based. A tour of laboratories that will give students an opportunity to observe state-of-the-art technologies in use. A discussion of case studies on product discovery and development in the health and beauty care industries. A review of how companies develop an understanding of what matters most to customers. Real world advice for students who want to know how they can use their chemistry or life science training in the field, and the opportunity to learn about a career in R&D. An opportunity to meet scientists and technology managers to get their perspectives on the innovation process and challenges to R&D. An opportunity to meet a mentor at P&G who may serve as a resource and industry contact for the future. To see photos from the 2005 event, please click here.

Innovative products have been a critical component of this growth. P&G technologists have been responsible for several historic "firsts" that revolutionized their product categories and spawned many imitators. This includes: Tide®, the first heavy-duty synthetic detergent; Crest®, the breakthrough cavity-prevention toothpaste; and Pampers®, the disposable diaper that revolutionized caring for babies. Over the years, P&G's R&D team has revolutionized home care with products ranging from Dryel®, the novel way to care for dry-clean-only clothes in the home, to Febreze®, the spray that actually cleans away odors. Outstanding products are created by outstanding people. We are committed to finding the best researchers and retaining them with a culture designed to reward success, stimulate learning, challenge complacency and nurture innovation. Our Commitment At P&G, we always want to stay in touch with the people who use our products around the world. We listen to them, anticipate what they need and respond with brands that improve their everyday lives. We simply cannot create brands and products to improve the lives of the world's consumers unless we understand and value the diversity of our consumers, customers, suppliers and employees around the world. Diversity is a key business strategy that enables P&G to be "in touch." We know that everything we do should serve the greater goal of improving the everyday lives of the people and families who use our products. To better serve consumers, we'll work more effectively with each other, customers, suppliers and other external partners; we'll innovate more brilliantly; and ultimately, we will create and build brands that improve everyday life. Every individual in our company — and every partner with whom we do business — deserves an equal opportunity to grow, excel and succeed with P&G. Our values begin with "respect for the individual." Talent comes from everywhere, and in equal measure. In today's competitive environment, we must cultivate creativity from wherever it comes, and give talented people a chance to work together to win. The Company P&G is a world leader in R&D, manufacturing and marketing of a wide variety of health, beauty, cosmetic and fragrance, laundry and cleaning, and paper products. P&G sells more than 300 brands in more than 180 countries with annual sales of $76.5 billion. We have 9,000 employees in our global R&D centers. R&D has been the lifeblood of P&G in making and marketing products to serve, and improve the quality of life for, billions of consumers worldwide. Our success is based on a deep understanding of consumers' habits and product needs; our ability to attract and support the best innovators in the world; and our ability to acquire, develop and apply technology. In 2007, P&G was recognized as the number one consumer products company and was in the top three for most admired companies. We are consistently recognized as one of the best companies for which to work.
