- To monitor the first international call for multilateral research cooperation under the auspices and guidance of IUPAC represented by the Polymer Division.
- To provide guidelines (sample documents, flow charts) for other international calls preferably under the guidance of IUPAC.
The first international call on multilateral research cooperation in polymer science has been initiated within the frame of the IUPAC Committee for Chemical Research Funding (CCRF) by the task group members of Division IV and jointly prepared and launched with participating national funding agencies. The call for letters of intent resulted in more than 30 submissions (by far more than expected).
(see www.iupac.org/polyedu/DivIVCall for more information)
The project is considered to be a showcase for multi-national cooperation under the auspices of IUPAC and participating national funding agencies.
Steps during preparation of the call, and the different stages of realization will be accompanied and monitored by the task group. Protocols of meetings, exchange of documents one intermediate and one final meeting of task group members with representatives of agencies involved in running the call will ensure a concise set of documents, flowcharts and time frames to be used as models and basis for further (IUPAC piloted) multinational calls in any domain of chemistry.

Nov 2012 - A detailed report (pdf 56KB) (including appendix (zip 7.9MB)of 24 files) prepared by Werner Mormann, Markus Behnke, and Steven Meyers, is made available and to provide guidelines for other international calls.
