Events
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.
21st International Conference on Retinal Proteins
The 21st International Conference on Retinal Proteins (ICRP2026) will be held in Siena, Italy, from September 14th to 19th, 2026. ICRP2026 focuses on the Photophysics, Photochemistry and Photobiology of the, arguably, more extended and diffuse biological photoreceptor family of our planet (more than 500,000 known members found in organisms belonging to all kingdoms of life) including […]
26th Isoprenoid Conference
This conference historically brings together natural products chemists from around the globe and shows searching, research, utilization and biological activity of natural products, namely, the isoprenoids. The 26th Isoprenoid conference will be organized at Novotného Lávka buildings on the Vltava river bank, close to the Charles Bridge. The building complex belongs to the Czech Association […]
Next Horizons in Polymers
IUPAC-PSK50 International Conference on Next Horizons in Polymers: Beyond the past 50, toward the next 100 The IUPAC-PSK50 conference aims to bring world-leading scientists and researchers to exchange the latest experiences and researches on all aspects of polymer science, engineering and the related fields. Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Polymer Society of Korea, it […]
Polymer-solvent Complexes and Intercalates (POLYSOLVAT-16)
The conference focuses on the formation mechanisms, morphology, molecular structure, and properties of compounds formed between solvent molecules and/or small molecules with synthetic polymers and biopolymers, proteins, and supramolecular polymers (self-organized systems), taking into account both fundamental aspects and the application potential. The bulk state, solutions, and systems formed at surfaces/interfaces will be considered, with […]
