The
IUPAC General Assembly (GA) is the occasion for meetings
of the statutory bodies of the Union, specifically of the Council,
Bureau, Division Committees, and Standing Committees.
The 43rd IUPAC General Assembly will be held 13-21 August 2005,
in Beijing, China, concurrently with the 40th IUPAC Congress.
The Information Booklet contains information regarding
the arrangements for the General Assembly.
The GA site
will be the Beijing International Convention Center (BICC). The
BICC is located at No.8 Beichendong Road, Chaoyang District. The
BICC is one of China's biggest facilities specifically designed
for conferences and exhibitions, with an area of over 68 thousand
square meters. It is an eight-floor building with two underground
floors, comprising 50 conference halls and meeting rooms equipped
to serve a wide variety of purposes from 10 up to 2500 people,
as well as indoor exhibition halls to accommodate as many as 300
standard exhibition booths and dozens of offices. All buildings
are located in a beautiful garden.
Please take
a moment to also review the Congress 2nd Circular, which
includes the Congress preliminary program, map, pre and
post Congress tour options, and visas information. The Chinese
Chemical Society has arranged an impressive program on the theme
of Innovation in Chemistry.
Looking
forward to seeing you in Beijing!
