International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry

Season’s Greetings From the IUPAC Officers and Secretariat! IUPAC provides objectives scientific expertise and develops the essential tools for the application and communication of chemical knowledge for the benefit of humankind and the world. This is through the creation of a common language, recommending standards and fostering sustainable development. Despite the challenges of the past year, and owing to the commitment and support of the chemical sciences’ community, the Union remains and effective and inspiring organization. Best wishes for a happy, healthy and successful 2024! Catalyzing Diversity in Science Registration is open for #GWB2024 The next IUPAC Global Women’s Breakfast will be held on February 27, 2024.
