Chimie et Société a organisé le symposium « Chemistry and Society » parmi les 35 proposés en juillet dernier à l’occasion du Congrès IUPAC 2019 qui célébrait le centenaire de la création de l’IUPAC* à Paris.
* L’Union internationale de chimie pure et appliquée (IUPAC pour International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) a été fondée en 1919 par des chimistes universitaires et industriels. L’IUPAC s’intéresse aux progrès en chimie, chimie physique, biochimie, etc. Elle a pour membres des sociétés nationales de chimie. C’est l’autorité reconnue pour le développement de règles à adopter pour la nomenclature, les symboles et la terminologie des éléments chimiques et de leurs dérivés, les méthodes normalisées pour la mesure, les poids atomiques et autres données.
Le symposium « Chemistry and Society » comprenait trois sessions :
S4.1 : Chemistry and Society – current knowledge
S4.2 : Scientific outreach vs. teaching, perception and communication in chemistry
S4.3 : Chemistry and Society – intensifying the dialogue
En partenariat avec le rectorat de l’académie de Paris, 17 conférences ont été enregistrées au cours des sessions 4.1 et 4.2.
