Aims
The Mission of the Division of Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry is to promote the goals of IUPAC in the field of organic and biomolecular chemistry in the broadest sense. To this end the Division consists of a Division Committee and six Subcommittees. Together these promote the formulation and execution of Projects on relevant chemical problems, the staging of chemical conferences on important areas of chemistry, the education and professional development of chemists worldwide, the advancement of chemical industry, and the application of chemistry to meet the world’s needs. The Division is committed to utilizing the talents of chemists from around the world in these activities, and promoting diversity in our membership.
