Abstract

During the 52nd IUPAC General Assembly to be held in The Hague in August 2023, the Council will be asked to elect a Vice President, a Secretary General, and members of the newly established Executive Board and Science Board. IUPAC National Adhering Organizations have been invited to submit nominations. (see News posted 17 January December 2022, https://iupac.org/iupac-elections-for-the-2024-2025-term-call-for-nominations/)

On 1 January 2024, Ehud Keinan (Israel), Vice President and President-Elect of IUPAC, will become President. Javier García-Martínez (Spain), current President, will become Past President and remain an officer and a member of the Executive Board for a period of two years, while Christopher Brett (Portugal), current Past President, will retire. Secretary General Richard Hartshorn (New Zealand) was elected by the Council in July 2019 for a second four-year term and will also retire at the end of 2023. Meanwhile Treasurer Wolfram Koch (Germany) was elected by Council in August 2021 for a four-year term and will continue.
