* 38th IUPAC Congress-Frontiers
in Chemistry/World Chemistry Congress 2001
* IUPAC-sponsored
event
1-6 July 2001
Brisbane, Australia
Held in conjunction with the 41st
IUPAC General Assembly (29 June-8 July 2001) and incorporating the
9th Asian Chemistry Congress (1-4 July 2001) and AIMECS 01 (3-6 July
2001), the 38th IUPAC Congress/World Chemistry Congress 2001 in Brisbane,
Australia will be a landmark event, featuring a diverse program and
a range of associated meetings and activities that will combine to make
attendance a valuable experience. The Royal Australian Chemical Institute
will host all the Congress events in Brisbane, a city that offers every
amenity and is an ideal point from which to explore the vast Australian
continent.

The preliminary program will be released this month. Early bird discount
registration closes 3 December 2000. Abstract submissions are invited
for contributed oral and poster presentations on topics within the scope
of the World Chemistry Congress and the associated meetings. Abstract
submissions close on 31 March 2001, and authors will be noti-fied after
1 May 2001.
A trade exhibition will be a major feature of the World Chemistry Congress,
and organizations interested in commercial display opportunities are
welcome. A detailed exhibition kit is available to those who contact
the Congress Secretariat.
