Ad Hoc Committee on
IUPAC/Industry Relations
In August 1999, at the General Assembly in Berlin, Dr. Alan Hayes (then
President-elect) was given responsibility for organizing this committee.
Charge to the Committee
- To consider options and then recommend a course of action by which
IUPAC could become more attractive to increased participation by scientists
in industry
- To recommend alternative mechanisms by which IUPAC should liaise and
interact with industry, including consideration of sensible processes
within IUPAC itself
- To review the activities and composition of COCI and how it should
participate in the outcomes of the two points above

The Committee held an introductory meeting on November 12, 1999. A
number of aspects of current and potential relationships between IUPAC
and the chemical industry were discussed. Particular attention was given
to the Long Range Research Initiative of the International Council of
Chemical Organizations (ICCA), which is being managed by CEFIC in Europe,
the Chemical Manufacturers Association in the USA, and the Japanese
Chemical Industry Association. This is a global, generic, human and
environmental research program aimed at filling gaps in chemical effects
research for compounds of commercial interest.
