The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is pleased to announce the IUPAC 2025 comprising two major meetings namely the 53rd IUPAC General Assembly (53GA) the occasion for meetings of the statutory bodies of the Union, specifically of the Council, Division Committees, and Standing Committees, Science and Executive Board which will take place from 12 – 16 July 2025 and the 50th IUPAC World Chemistry Congress 2025 which will take place from 14 to 19 July 2025.
Together with other side-events these two 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 has created immense enthusiasm and excitement among chemists from this part of the world.
The GA and the 50WCC will share the same venue, the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre Malaysia, and also share several events, including a joint opening and reception. Detailed information about the Congress is available at www.iupac2025.org, including program, call for abstract, and registration.
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.
Please visit the IUPAC 2025 website for more updated information.
Registration to the GA is free but required. All GA participants, i.e. IUPAC Members and Delegates, must register by clicking the register button at the top or bottom of this page.
GA participants can also register to the Congress at a special discounted rate, and are encouraged to take advantage of their participation in the GA by also attending the Congress.
