Program
The World Chemistry Congress 2001 comprises, at a single venue:
A. The 38th Congress of IUPAC held from Sunday 1st July to Friday 6th July.
B. The 9th Asian Chemical Congress held from Sunday 1st July to Wednesday 4th July. Delegates attending 9ACC on a five-day registration package are additionally entitled to attend all the scientific sessions of the World Chemistry Congress.
C. The AIMECS 01 meeting held from Tuesday 3rd July to Friday 6th July. Delegates attending AIMECS 01 are additionally entitled to attend all the scientific sessions of the World Chemistry Congress.
Each meeting has plenary sessions, parallel technical sessions with invited keynote and contributed oral papers, and there is a poster session for each meeting. Delegates can submit poster abstracts in any area of chemistry (see Submission of Abstracts). There will be an extensive Trade Exhibition.
