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.
30th IUPAC Symposium on Photochemistry
Photochemistry is a key factor in many human endeavors, with energy and health as the most obvious areas of application. The conference, however, aims at broadly advancing the field of photochemistry for the future, both at the fundamental level and towards applications The conference is the 30th in the series of IUPAC Symposia on Photochemistry. […]
10th EuChemS Chemistry Congress (ECC10)
The EuChemS Chemistry Congresses are the pinnacle chemistry congresses in Europe. It unites the chemical community (from young scientists to leading experts) and fosters interdisciplinary interactions among them. The congress is a truly inspiring and instructive and inclusive experience for young researchers (like PhD students) as it includes a full parallel program by the European […]
28th International Conference on Chemistry Education
ICCECRICE 2026 - Chemistry Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence 28th International Conference on Chemistry Education (ICCE) jointly with 17th European Conference on Research in Chemical Education (ECRICE) Chemistry education is a field concerned with teaching and learning of chemistry. The content of Chemistry education research (CER) ranges from understanding the history and philosophy […]
Chemistry that transforms, science that connects
Congreso de Química Costa Rica 2026 This Congress aims to bring together academic and industry researchers, government officials, and the general public to share scientific information and promote international collaboration. The special collaboration with the Network for the Analysis of Environmental Quality in Latin America (RACAL) will bring additional, very interesting research on environmental issues. […]
51st World Polymer Congress – MACRO2026
New Polymers and Innovative Materials for A Sustainable Future In keeping with the tradition of featuring high-calibre speakers who reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the field, MACRO 2026 will showcase […]
Adapting Research for Societal Needs
The Virtual Conference on Chemistry and its Applications (VCCA-2026) Basic sciences are the pillars for our capacity to understand and innovate. It is equally important for researchers to communicate their research findings and be involved in a network within the scientific community. In view of our continuous effort to host virtual conferences, this virtual conference will provide a platform for scientific interactions. There will also be an informal virtual networking session where participants will be interacting with each other. Several keynote…
Progress with Standards in Chemistry: From Analog to Digital
Symposium part of ACS Fall 2026 (Chicago) Division of Chemical Information | exact date tba This symposium will focus on the evolution of chemistry standards and the impact on communicating chemistry from analog beginnings through to the digital age and entering the AI era. Inspired by a desire to celebrate the contribution to IUPAC and RSC of Alan McNaught who sadly passed away in 2025, we will welcome contributions that reflect on the past, present and future of chemistry nomenclature,…
22nd International Symposium on Solubility Phenomena and Related Equilibrium Processes
with satellite workshop “Tailored properties of ionic liquid electrolytes for sustainable energy storage applications” Solubility phenomena are fundamental to industries and environmental sciences, shaping chemical processes, sustainability efforts, and public health. Their growing relevance these days is evident across various fields, including: - Environmental Sustainability – Supporting pollution control, water protection, and soil remediation. - […]
27th IUPAC International Conference on Physical Organic Chemistry
Since its inception in 1972, the International Conferences on Physical Organic Chemistry, ICPOC, have been the leading international gatherings on physical organic chemistry and its applications. Traditionally, physical organic chemistry relates molecular structure to chemical behavior, by means of the study of structure, reactivity, mechanism, and equilibrium in organic systems, aiming at the quantitative, molecular level […]
