The IUPAC World Chemistry Congress (WCC) in The Hague attracted delegates from all locations and all ages to share exciting research, new insights and recent developments, and to build new relationships. Among them were two students from a STEM specialisation high school in Singapore who came to present a poster on their research project, Mattias Kon and Jovern Teo. They share their reflections on the experience in this article, conversing with Marietjie Potgieter, chair of the Committee on Chemistry Education.

The International Organization for Chemical Sciences in Development (IOCD) is committed to working in partnership with others to ensure that chemistry fulfils its potential of contributing to sustainability for people and for the physical and biological systems of the planet. A new orientation, “One-World” Chemistry has been proposed, which recognises the interconnectedness of human, animal, and planetary health and embraces the need for chemistry to adopt systems thinking and crossdisciplinary working to tackle the planetary challenges.

The year 2024 marks the beginning of important changes at IUPAC, the result of a journey that began in 2019 and crystallized in some of the most important decisions for IUPAC’s future in recent decades, adopted at our latest General Assembly in The Hague last August. In this column, I would like to talk about the many things we have accomplished together in recent years but most of all the future, about the many opportunities I see for IUPAC in the years ahead.

In 1989 the Subcommittee on Solubility Equilibrium Data (SSED) inaugurated the Franzosini Award to assist a promising young contributor to the Solubility Data Project. In 2023 the Franzosini Award was renamed the Franzosini Prize and elevated to an award in recognition of outstanding and sustained contributions to the field of critical evaluation of data in solubility and related chemical equilibria. At the same time the Balarew Award was inaugurated to recognize an Outstanding Young Scientist working in the field of critical evaluation of solubility and/or related chemical equilibria.

During the 49th World Polymer Congress held 17–21 July 2022 in Winnipeg, Canada, Graeme Moad presented the Stepto Lecture Award [1], describing the mechanism and terminological evolution of reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) [2, 3, 4], including more recent intricate designs through the use of light and electrical propulsion.

Red can be the color of passion and danger, or luck and prosperity. Blue can be the shade of sadness—singing the blues—or a sign of tranquility and serenity. As the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky once affirmed, in his 1911 treatise Concerning the Spiritual in Art , “Color is a power which directly influences the soul.” Color is also culture: we’ve colored our environments, clothes, and bodies for thousands of years, since early humans applied simple organic stains derived from the plants around them. The art and science of dyeing is an ancient one; today it’s an economic and commercial powerhouse. The arrival of the first synthetic dyes in the 1850s—discovered by happenstance from experiments with coal tar waste—brought us a rainbow of new possibilities for fashion and textiles, from color “fads” and trends to new means for self-expression. But synthetic color’s dark side lingers in polluted waterways. A new exhibit at the museum of the Science History Institute explores these complex legacies. Bold: Color From Test Tube To Textile takes visitors on a colorful 150-year journey through the history of synthetic dyes, examining the people and places who’ve shaped our modern understanding of color—from the laboratory to the factory floor, from the runway to retail, and beyond.

The Divisions of IUPAC may award the status of Emeritus Fellow to former members of the Divisions and its erstwhile Commissions and Subcommittees who have made outstanding contributions to IUPAC and, through chemistry, to the chemical sciences in general. The appointment of Emeritus Fellow reflects the member standing as a scientist and continuing service to the divisions and to the Union.

In December 2023, the International Science Council (ISC) appointed 100 new Fellows, in recognition of outstanding contributions to promoting science as a global public good. Among them is former IUPAC President, now Past President, Professor Javier García Martínez, and former Bureau member Professor Ghada Bassioni. The Fellowship is the highest honour that can be conferred on an individual by the ISC. Together with the 123 individuals that were appointed in 2022, the new ISC Fellows will support the ISC Council in its mission at a critical moment for science and sustainability for science as we enter the UN’s International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD) in 2024.
2023 年 12 月，国际科学理事会（ISC）任命了 100 名新研究员，以表彰他们为促进科学这一全球公益事业所做出的杰出贡献。其中包括前国际理论化学和应用化学联合会（IUPAC）主席、现任前任主席哈维尔-加西亚-马丁内斯（Javier García Martínez）教授和前主席团成员加达-巴西奥尼（Ghada Bassioni）教授。该奖学金是国际科学委员会授予个人的最高荣誉。随着2024年联合国国际科学促进可持续发展十年（IDSSD）的到来，新一届国际科学委员会研究员将与2022年任命的123名研究员一起，在科学和科学可持续性的关键时刻支持国际科学委员会理事会履行其使命。
