What Does the Bureau Do?

The Bureau is established by the Council to act for the Union during intervals between meetings of the Council; it therefore fulfills important functions by ensuring continuity. The Bureau normally meets once a year. It consists of the officers (president, vice president, secretary general, treasurer, immediate past president), the division presidents and chairs of the operational standing committees, and 10 other members elected by the Council. The elections should also allow for a fair geographical representation. In principle, no member country should have more than one elected member on the Bureau.

The principal duties of the Bureau—as quoted in the statutes—are as follows:

  • to ensure the strict observance of statutes and bylaws
  • to prepare the agenda for meetings of the Council and in particular
  • to make provision for elections
  • to make recommendations thereon to the Council
  • to attend the meetings of the Council
  • to implement the decisions of the Council and execute the program of the Union as directed by the Council
  • to take steps to ensure that international congresses of pure and applied chemistry are held
  • to take decisions about the holding of scientific meetings as proposed by the division committees
  • to take all other steps necessary for the good conduct of the affairs of the Union

See the Bylaws for more details.
