In October 2009, a meeting was held at the behest of Division II, with the concurrence of Divisions I and IV, in order to provide an in-depth analysis and discussion of the current status of materials chemistry in IUPAC and, more specifically, to:
(1) determine the future structure and function of the Interdivisional Subcommittee on
Materials Chemistry, and
(2) discuss/envision the possibility of a new ‘Materials Chemistry Division’ within IUPAC. [

The Interdivisional Subcommittee on Materials Chemistry will foster, manage, and monitor projects and other IUPAC activities in Materials Chemistry and Materials Science. It will lead and coordinate all the Union's activities in Materials Chemistry and serve as a focus for such activities including Conferences and Workshops and for interaction with relevant external bodies. It will implement new activities to develop and strengthen the Union in the materials area.
