The IUPAC General Assembly (GA) is the occasion for meetings of the statutory bodies of the Union, specifically of the Council, Bureau, Division Committees, and Standing Committees. The 52nd IUPAC General Assembly will be in The Hague, Netherlands 18-25 August 2023, in parallel to the IUPAC World Congress IUPAC|CHAINS2023.
The GA and the Congress will share the venue at World Forum in The Hague and also share several events, including a joint opening and reception, joint events with IYCN, and the World Chemistry Leadership Meeting (WCLM). Detailed information about the Congress is available at www.iupac2023.org, including program, call for abstract, congress registration, travel information, and accommodations.
We would like to encourage you to take advantage of your participation in the GA by also attending the Congress. The Organizing Committee has prepared an exciting program. GA participants (i.e. IUPAC Members and Delegates) can register to the Congress at a special discounted rate. GA and Congress registration is readily available at www.iupac2023.org.
