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.

IUPAC Role in Global Affairs

  • This event has passed.

This symposia is one of several organized under the Theme “Chemistry for Society” during IUPAC | CCCE 2021

https://www.cheminst.ca/conference/ccce2021/program/program-overview/chemistry-for-society/

 

This symposium will feature the recent role of chemistry and IUPAC in the global affairs with contributions from global organizations such as the OPCW, BIPM (redefinition of the SI, IUPAC Div V), World Antidoping Agency, IAEA, or United States Pharmacopeia. The Symposium will showcase the close relationship between chemistry and its larger impact in society.
