Each year IUPAC endorses a large number of independently organized conferences, symposiums and workshops that cover a wide range of specialized topics in chemistry. Endorsement by IUPAC attests to the quality of the scientific program and indicates the host country’s assurance that scientists from all countries may participate. The conference must be located in a country represented in IUPAC by a National Adhering Organization. See program details.

What is a Chemical? Handling Chemical Data Across Disciplines

  • This event has passed.

First webinar organized by the IUPAC WorldFAIR Chemistry project

WorldFAIR Chemistry is one of several case studies in the global * WorldFAIR Initiative directed by CODATA and the Research Data Alliance to connect diverse activities across disciplines and geographies.

The webinar aims to highlight the status of working with descriptions of chemical substances, databases, and ways to implement FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles across the chemical enterprise. In this webinar, we are hosting experts from polymer science, material science, geoscience and geoinformatics, environmental science, cheminformatics, and astrophysics. Invited speakers will present their flash talks, followed by a panel discussion. See Flyer (pdf)

Join us in this collaborative effort to advance chemical data management in the digital world.

When? September 22, 2022 | 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm (EDT)/6:00 pm – 7:30 pm (CEST)

WATCH IT AGAIN!

!!*!*!! The second webinar of our series titled “What is a Chemical (Part II): Applying Chemical Data to Industry Challenges will focuses on how chemical data are used in various applied areas such as drug discovery, consumer products, textile and dyes, agrichem, Al/ML, safety and toxicology. The webinar will be held in October. More details and registration @FAIRChemistry  

 

*WorldFAIR “Global cooperation on FAIR data policy and practice” is funded by the EC HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-41 Coordination and Support Action under Grant Agreement No. 101058393.

IUPAC is the world authority on chemical nomenclature, terminology, and standardized methods of measurement, and is engaging in a concerted effort through collaboration with the broader chemistry and data science communities to translate a range of assets and activities into the digital domain.
