During IUPAC GA/Council in August 2023, a collection of posters were on display during the IUPAC/IYCN networking session and Council.
PDF version are below.
1 Division I Physical and Biophysical Chemistry
Div. I promotes international collaboration in physical and biophysical chemistry in order to:
– Recognize new developments in the field;
– Promote activities important for the needs of the world community;
– Encourage the compilation and documentation of critically evaluated chemical data;
– Formulate recommendations on terminology, symbols, units, and conventions, as well as encourage and monitor their acceptance by the community;
– Establish and stimulate the use of proper methodologies, standards, and reference materials.
In this poster, we highlight few cases of successful projects. [PDF]

2 Division II Inorganic Chemistry
The IUPAC Inorganic Chemistry Division (Division II) deals with all aspects of inorganic chemistry, including materials and inorganic polymers, coordination, organometallic, and bioinorganic chemistry, isotopic abundances, atomic weights, and the periodic table. It also advises the Chemical Nomenclature and Structure Representation Division (Division VIII) on issues dealing with inorganic compounds and materials. Some recent divisional activities and ongoing projects will be highlighted in this presentation. [PDF]

3 Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights (CIAAW)
This poster provides a short introduction to the Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights. It describes the role of the Commission and provides an insight into its work and the corresponding principal tasks. Finally, it provides the reader with the latest achievements and with the most recent publications. [PDF]

4 Division III Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry
Division III covers domains in organic and biomolecular chemistry relevant to societal needs, chemistry developments and innovation in chemistry. The Mission, activities and achievements of Division III will be presented and highlighted its importance for chemistry dissemination in science and to the general public. [PDF]
Prof. Amelia Rauter, Div III

5 Division IV Polymer, Subcommittee on Modeling Polymerization Kinetics and Processes
Modeling and mechanistic studies into radical polymerizations are important for science and industry, but often completely different model assumptions and parameter values are reported for ostensibly the same systems. The projects of the IUPAC Subcommittee on Modeling of Polymerization Kinetics and Processes aim to rectify this situation through international collaboration designed to produce critically evaluated kinetic parameters.

11 Personal Protective Equipment Disposal for the Future
Project 2021-012-2-400; interdivisional project of the Polymer Division (IV) is partnership with Chemistry and the Environment Division (VI), Chemistry and Human Health Division (VII), Interdivisional Committee on Green Chemistry for Sustainable Development (ICGCSD), and Committee on Chemistry Education CCE.

12 Division V Analytical Chemistry Activities and Plans
Analytical chemistry is concerned with all aspects of the chemical measurement process. This includes the application of metrology (the science of measurement) to chemistry, the development and application of methods and techniques for chemical analysis, the critical evaluation of chemical data produced by analysis, and FAIR communication of the results of work in these areas to chemists and non-chemists. This broad concern with chemical measurement leads to collaboration between the Analytical Chemistry Division and numerous other IUPAC bodies, as shown by examples outlined in this poster. [PDF]

15 Division VIII – Nomenclature and Structure Representation
IUPAC Division VIII is responsible for maintaining and developing standard systems for designating chemical structures, including both conventional nomenclature and computer-based systems. This poster will describe the key projects the division has recently completed and is working on.

16 Committee on Publications and Cheminformatics Data Standards
CPCDS is responsible for advising on the design and implementation of publications, data sharing and digital standards development for promoting exchange and application of human and machine-readable chemical information. [PDF]

17 Digital Evolution of the IUPAC Gold Book
The IUPAC Gold Book was reinvigorated in 2019 with a new interface and functionality. Since then the attention has been focused on the content of the Gold Book, sourced from the large corpus of over 180 IUPAC Recommendations. This poster describes how the Gold Book content is being updated through a project across all IUPAC Divisions and using the newly develop Gold Book Term Review System (TRS). Once complete, the project should expand the Gold Book content from ~7000 terms to over 15,000 terms and pave the way for future development of this important IUPAC resource to support the semantic.

22 IUPAC Committee on Chemistry Education (CCE)
CCE advances the educational interests of IUPAC bodies with activities throughout the world, and supports chemistry education particularly in developing countries. The Committee has an active project pipeline that is well-aligned with the IUPAC strategic plan. CCE hosts a global conference and supports regional conferences to disseminate information on teaching practices and innovations for high-quality chemistry education. CCE is the home of the new IUPAC journal, Chemistry Teacher International (CTI), which was accepted in both SSCI and Scopus and is making a small profit every year. [PDF]
