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. The conference must be located in a country represented in IUPAC by a National Adhering Organization. See program details.

52nd IUPAC General Assembly

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.
