IUPAC Projects & Italy

The scientific work of IUPAC is conducted largely through a formal Project system in which proposals from chemists around the world are peer-reviewed.

IUPAC projects should address one of the goals listed in the IUPAC Strategic Plan and satisfy at least one of the following key criteria:

-They should be related to the needs of the chemists in the world, not just in a country or a region.

-They should be related to the role of chemistry for the needs of mankind.

-They should best be approached by an international team such as IUPAC can assemble.

Detailed information can be found here: https://iupac.org/what-we-do/projects/

Many Italian chemists have worked and directed important IUPAC projects over the years.

We highlight some IUPAC projects, in progress or just concluded, both coordinated by Italians.
