  1. IUPAC’s mission is to advance the worldwide aspects of the chemical sciences and to contribute to the application of chemistry in the service of Mankind. • Promotes norms, values, ethics of science • Advocates free exchange of scientific information and access of scientists • Addresses global issues as a scientific, international, non-governmental, objective body

  2. IUPAC Member Countries NAOs and ANAOs

  3. IUPAC OrganizationDivisions and Standing Committees manage IUPAC's scientific work • Physical & Biophysical Chemistry • Inorganic Chemistry • Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry • Polymer • Analytical Chemistry • Chemistry & the Environment • Chemistry & Human Health • Chemical Nomenclature & Structure Representation • Committee on Chemistry and Industry (COCI) • Committee on Chemistry Education (CCE) • CHEMRAWN Committee • Committee on Printed and Electronic Publications (CPEP)

  4. Major IUPAC Activities • Development of the Language of Chemistry • Nomenclature, Symbols, Terminology • Standardization of Chemistry Methods • Data Presentation • Study of Analytic Methods • Critical Evaluation of Physico-Chemical Data • Atomic Weights • Thermodynamic Data • Kinetic Data

  5. Major IUPAC Activities (Cont.) • Data Exchange Standards for Computers and Instruments • Sponsorship of Conferences • Biennial IUPAC Congress(Torino, Italy 2007, Glasgow, Scotland 2009, San Juan, Puerto Rico 2011) • More than 30 Specialized Symposia each Year • Chemistry Education • Industrial Safety and Environmental Programs • CHEMRAWN Conferences addressing Chemistry and Societal Impact

  6. International Year of Chemistry2011 At its General Assembly in 2007 IUPAC unanimously approved a resolution in favor of the proclamation of 2011 as the Year of Chemistry. The year 2011 marks the one-hundredth anniversary of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Marie Sklodowska Curie, recognizing her discovery of the elements radium and polonium.

  7. International Year of Chemistry2011 An International Year of Chemistry will: • Serve as a focal point for activities by national chemical societies, educational institutions and non-governmental organizations • Enhance the understanding and appreciation of chemistry among the public • Promote the role of chemistry in contributing to solutions to many global problems • Build capacity by engaging young people with scientific disciplines • Serve as a catalyst for international cooperation.

  8. International Year of Chemistry2011 On 30 December 2008 - The 63rd General Assembly of the United Nations has adopted a resolution proclaiming 2011 as International Year of Chemistry, placing UNESCO and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) at the helm of the event.

  9. Proposals for Projects Anyone with a good idea can submit a proposal. IUPAC projects address issues of significance to the global chemistry community: • Nomenclature, terminology, and symbols • Validated and compiled data • Standard methods and procedures • Education and public understanding of chemistry • Any subject that requires development of consensus among chemists worldwide More information: www.iupac.org

  10. Company Associate Program • Relationships with internationally-based industrial corporations and scientific businesses allows for the exchange of information regarding current issues influencing Chemistry and Industry. The Committee on Chemistry and Industry (COCI) has direct involvement with Company Associates.

  11. Affiliate Membership Program Individuals may become affiliated with IUPAC through the Affiliate Membership Program (AMP). Benefits Include: • Subscription to bimonthly magazine, Chemistry International • Discounts on IUPAC Books and Pure and Applied Chemistry • Registration discounts for most IUPAC-Sponsored Conferences • Access to an international network of Chemists More information: www.iupac.org

  12. The IUPAC Prize for Young Chemists • Established to encourage young research scientists at the beginning of their careers. • Awarded for the most outstanding Ph.D. theses in the general area of the chemical sciences. Learn more at www.iupac.org

  13. Publications • Pure and Applied Chemistry • IUPAC recommendations and reports, special topic articles, and lectures from symposia. • Chemistry International • Bimonthly news magazine • Book series, includes • Compendia of Nomenclature and Terminology • Chemistry for the 21st Century • International Thermodynamic Tables of the Fluid State • Analytical and Physical Chemistry of Environmental Systems • Solubility Data Series and others!
