IUPAC Funding Opportunities in International Polymer Chemistry
IUPAC announces a transnational/transcontinental call for proposals in polymer chemistry supported by a consortium of funding agencies. The goal of this first pilot call is to establish an efficient transnational funding program in chemistry, transcending national boundaries, with minimal bureaucracy....More Details

Aims
The Polymer Division of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry is concerned with the science and technology of macromolecules and polymers. Its aims are:
To facilitate international scientific exchange
To cooperate with other international organizations
To promote macromolecular and polymer science and technology at the international level, including education, conferences and the assessment of societal impact
To define terminology and standards in macromolecular and polymer science and technology
The means by which the Division achieves these aims include:
Developing position papers on issues of importance to the international community
Organizing studies of polymer-related industrial technologies to define critical issues
Promoting scientific and technological education and exchange of ideas
Actively sponsoring international conferences
Providing financial support for approved projects in terminology, in polymer, molecular and process characterization, in special topics and in education
