Datuk ChM Dr. Soon Ting Kueh Chair, IUPAC 2025 National Organising Committee President, Institut Kimia Malaysia
On behalf of the Institut Kimia Malaysia (IKM) and the people of Malaysia, it is my pleasure to extend a warm invitation to join us for IUPAC 2025, taking place in the vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur from 12–19 July 2025. This momentous event will mark the first time these prestigious gatherings are hosted in an ASEAN country, sparking immense excitement across the region and beyond.
The three major components:
53rd IUPAC General Assembly (53GA) (12–16 July 2025)
Bringing together approximately 300 delegates, including IUPAC Executive Committee members, Science Board representatives, division and standing committee members, and leaders from international scientific unions, national chemical societies, and industry.
50th World Chemistry Congress (50WCC) (14–19 July 2025)
Gathering an estimated 3,000 scientists, researchers, educators, and professionals from academia, R&D institutions, and industry to exchange ideas and forge collaborations.
LabAsia 2025 (14–16 July 2025)
A premier exhibition of scientific equipment and laboratory instrumentation, spanning over 9,710 square meters of cutting-edge displays.
Milestones and Themes
Celebrating the 50th World Chemistry Congress (50WCC) and 100 Years of Excellence in Chemistry Research and Innovations.
Themed “Chemistry for a Sustainable Future”, this landmark event underscores the pivotal role of chemistry in addressing critical global challenges aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
An impressive lineup of 12 plenary speakers and 23 keynote speakers, with more distinguished names to be announced. Stay tuned… www.iupac2025.org
Venue: - Where Chemistry Meets Excellence
The event will take place at the award-winning Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), a state-of-the-art facility renowned for its seamless hosting of world-class conventions. Nestled in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the KLCC provides easy access to the city’s iconic attractions, including the breathtaking Petronas Twin Towers.
