Each year IUPAC endorses a large number of independently organized conferences, symposiums and workshops that cover a wide range of specialized topics in chemistry. Endorsement by IUPAC attests to the quality of the scientific program and indicates the host country’s assurance that scientists from all countries may participate. See program details. In addition, the calendar below includes webinars and workshops related to specific IUPAC projects or joint activities with associated organizations.

Catalyzing a Sustainable Future: Radical Redesign of Chemistry for Circularity

  • This event has passed.

The next webinar in our Promoting Chemistry Applied to World Needs series is coming up on April 9th from 10 a.m. EST.
Join the first session of 2026 to explore how circular chemistry builds on green chemistry principles. We’ll hear from Chris Slootweg, Full Professor at the University of Amsterdam, about redesigning chemical processes and production cycles to use waste and end-of-life products as valuable resources.

🧪 This will be the 6th installment of the webinar series, hosted by Beyond Benign and the IUPAC Committee on Chemical Research Applied to World Needs (CHEMRAWN). Register today here: https://mailchi.mp/ae959a1fc960/chemistry_webinar_series

VV As a warm-up to the webinar, watch Chris’s TedTalk, “Circular Technologies for a Circular Economy,” (Dec 2023) as he unravels the transformative power of circular thinking. Drawing inspiration from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s advocacy for a circular economy, Chris traces the global waste problem to six key elements mirroring the origin of life….
