The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is pleased to announce that the 50th IUPAC World Chemistry Congress 2025 will be held in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia from 13 to 18 July 2025.
IUPAC 2025 comprises two major IUPAC meetings, namely the 53rd IUPAC General Assembly (53GA) and the 50th World Chemistry Congress (50WCC), and together with other side-events, will attract more than 3,000 delegates from all over the globe. This marks the first time that these global chemistry extravaganzas are taking place in an ASEAN country, and this has created immense enthusiasm and excitement among chemists from this part of the world.
The theme of IUPAC 2025, “Chemistry for Sustainable Future”, underscores IUPAC’s commitment to exploring chemistry’s pivotal role in addressing global sustainability challenges. In addition to the scientific sessions on various disciplines in chemistry, IUPAC 2025 also includes a special cluster of symposia on “Chemistry and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)” focusing on chemistry providing solutions and remedies to SDGs. As IUPAC celebrates the 50th Edition of the biennial World Chemistry Congress, it also commemorates “100 years of Excellence in Chemistry Research and Innovations” at the 50WCC. Additionally, there will also be a cluster of special themed symposia covering topics such as gender, diversity, equity & inclusiveness, professionalism & code of ethics, young chemists’ networks, world chemistry leadership programmes, chemical weapons convention, emerging technologies & innovations in chemistry, and other relevant subjects.
Stay tuned for more information which will be posted on the IUPAC 2025 website.
