IUPAC

There are just two weeks until the IUPAC Global Women's Breakfast - happening on 14 February! Held in conjunction with the U.N. Day of Women and Girls in Science, The goal of the GWB series is to establish an active network of people of all genders to overcome the barriers to gender equality in science. At present there are nearly 250 events registered from more than 60 countries. All science organizations are welcome to organize events. Great resources are available to all organizers to make your event shine! https://t.co/rwS5TNxJl4. We have also developed a new GWB Organizers Guide https://lnkd.in/gJ59xrea we thank our sponsors: American Chemical Society, Royal Society of Chemistry, Bayer | Crop Science, Dow, Royal Australian Chemical Institute, New Zealand Institute of Chemistry

For details on our upcoming committee meeting, future webinars, and nomination/application opportunities, check out (and subscribe to!) the latest newsletter of the US National Committee for IUPAC here: https://lnkd.in/ekeHDtZ6

⏳🎓 Don't miss out! 23 July is the deadline to apply for an OPCW scholarship to attend the T.M.C. Asser Instituut WMD Training Programme (30 Sept - 4 Oct). Apply now and secure your place in this impactful programme: https://lnkd.in/d9sw-QcR Thanks to funding support form the #EU.

NEXT WEEK: The Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework (CDIF): Practical Guidelines for FAIR Interoperability, Webinar, 25 July https://lnkd.in/e_c-GJ2a #codata #FAIRdata #OpenScience #datascience #opendata

For the past eight years I have been involved in InChI and the InChI Trust, and I am now really pleased about a significant milestone having been achieved: The new version of the InChI chemical identifier standard has been approved by IUPAC and the InChI Trust - the version 1.07 is the result of a completely rebuilt development and testing pipeline, to better support future maintenance and extension of the standard. InChI, already embedded in chemistry toolkits and widely used to link chemical resources together across the web, is a key standard contributing to findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable (FAIR) chemical entity data. There is an active roadmap for further extensions to the standard, so expect to hear more soon. I am very grateful for the support from Springer Nature Group as a member of the InChI Trust. https://lnkd.in/eDXcXj37 #chemistry #GitHub

🤩 fantastic news!

📣 Attention researchers and scientists! OPCW is seeking proposals on how AI can be used to help strengthen OPCW's approach to verification, develop advanced tools for OPCW missions, and fill critical knowledge gaps. 💰 4 grants available up to €65k each 📆 Submission deadline: 9 August 2024 ➡️ More information: opcw.org/aichallenge Thanks to funding support from the EU 🇪🇺 and the UK 🇬🇧 #ResearchGrant #ResearchGrants #OPCWscitech #ChemicalWeapons

Have a look at this great opportunity to work with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to develop means of using #AI to eliminate chemical weapons. IUPAC wholeheartedly supports OPCW‘s mission to eliminate chemical weapons from our world, and we encourage everyone to have a look at the fantastic work they are doing for all of us.

🌟 Join us on day 1 of the EYCN Early-Career Program at #ECC9! 🌟 Scientific Publishing, Science Policy, and Dual-Use in Chemistry will be the topics during our sessions on this day. See you there! 🌱🔬 EuChemS (European Chemical Society), 9th EuChemS Chemistry Congress (ECC9), ICI Young Chemists' Network (ICI YCN) #EYCN #YoungScientists #ECC9 #Conference2024

Glad to have co-authored a Preface with Dr. Nnanake-Abasi Offiong for a Special Issue on Pure and Applied Chemistry Journal published by De Gruyter https://lnkd.in/eNnDnppQ This special issue on PAC is a collection of invited papers based on presentations at the African Early Career Chemists Workshop & 8th Annual Symposium of the American Chemical Society, Nigeria International Chapter.
