From Busan, Korea to Sao Paulo, Brazil

First, a Thank You from Myung Soo Kim, Chairman, Organizing Committee, IUPAC-2015

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 45th IUPAC World Chemistry Congress, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation for your valuable participation in IUPAC-2015 held in Busan, Korea from August 9 to 14, 2015. IUPAC-2015 welcomed 3,787 participants from 79 countries.

IUPAC-2015 proposed a rich scientific program that allowed participants to deepen their knowledge and have discussions with each other. It included plenary/keynote/invited lectures, session talks, poster presentations, and workshops under 12 major themes and over 116 symposia. For the high-quality lectures, the Organizing Committee invited 437 speakers from 31 countries including 4 Nobel laureates. Furthermore, 28 sponsors and 35 exhibitors representing 62 booths made the Congress all the more fruitful.

I hope that the Congress was a great opportunity for all participants to develop new ideas for current and future studies, exchange opinions and expertise, and experience Korean culture. Furthermore, I hope that the IUPAC-2015 succeeded in serving as a platform to develop friendships and professional networks with eminent scientists from worldwide.

Had it not been for your active participation, the Congress may not have achieved such a great success both in size and quality. I thank you for your support, and ask for your generous understanding if there was anything that was left to be desired.

To remind you of the pleasant times we shared at IUPAC-2015, we uploaded the photos taken during the Congress on our official website (http://www.iupac2015.org). Please visit the website and enjoy the unforgettable moments of IUPAC-2015.

Once again, I sincerely appreciate your invaluable participation in IUPAC-2015. I look forward to seeing you again at another meeting in the near future.

Second, a Welcome message from Adriano D. Andricopulo, President of the Brazilian Chemical Society and Chairman of the Organizing Committee, IUPAC-2017

On behalf of the Brazilian Chemical Society, it is a great pleasure to invite you to attend the 46th IUPAC World Chemistry Congress (IUPAC-2017) to be held in São Paulo, Brazil, from July 9-14, 2017. The Brazilian Chemical Society (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, SBQ) is the IUPAC National Adhering Organization (NAO) of Brazil and one of the most representative and important scientific associations in Latin America, with over 4500 members in Brazil and abroad.

The World Congress will be held in São Paulo, one of the largest and most dynamic cities in the world that now receives over 90,000 events a year. This multicultural city is not limited to a diverse population: it boasts first-world infrastructure, world-class hotels, excellent gastronomy, world-class museums and plenty of culture, music, shows and attractions for every cultural background, age, taste and budget. The venue will be the WTC Sheraton, which is surrounded by a variety of hotels and restaurants in walking distances. There are also options by public transportation to connect to other areas of the city.

For the first time in South America, we can bring an entire continent of chemists closer to the global IUPAC community. We will deliver an unforgettable IUPAC Congress, energized by the passion, hospitality and creativity of the Brazilian people.

Best wishes and we hope to see you all in Brazil in 2017.
