Fabienne Meyers

Dr. Fabienne Meyers is the Executive Director of IUPAC. Fabienne is responsible for the oversight of operational aspects of IUPAC’s work. Originally from Belgium, Fabienne works remotely from her office at Boston University’s Chemistry Department or part time from Belgium. She is responsible for the management of the Project System and works closely with the Divisions, Standing Committees, volunteers and the Project Committee on the selection and approval of projects. Fabienne works closely with Tammy to provide the information needed to prepare the project financial reports. Fabienne is intimately involved in all IUPAC’s publications and works closely with our publishing partner, DeGruyter, and is managing editor of Chemistry International. Fabienne is responsible for the IUPAC Conference programs and works closely with Enid to manage the requests for endorsement. This is key activity of IUPAC, our Divisions and Committees as well as our National Adhering Organizations.

Following the closing of the RTP office, Tammy and Enid retired in June 2026.
