Each year IUPAC endorses a large number of independently organized conferences, symposiums and workshops that cover a wide range of specialized topics in chemistry. Endorsement by IUPAC attests to the quality of the scientific program and indicates the host country’s assurance that scientists from all countries may participate. The conference must be located in a country represented in IUPAC by a National Adhering Organization. See program details.

Event Navigation

With IYBSSD2022 on-going, this year’s celebration of World Science Day will highlight the importance of “Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development”.

A webinar, organized by UNESCO in celebration of World Science Day for Peace and Development, aims to highlight the significant role played by basic sciences in advancing knowledge for the wellbeing of society and its sustainable development. The webinar will offer an opportunity to showcase some of the ways in which learning from nature and deepening our understanding of complex natural and societal phenomena can lay the foundations for innovative solutions for the common good.
