International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is a non-profit organization that works to help scientists from around the world to work together and make advances in chemistry. They create rules and guidelines for scientists to help them do their work better. For example, they help scientists come up with names for new elements and compounds, and they help scientists come up with ways to measure and compare the purity of different substances. IUPAC also helps to organize conferences, workshops, and other events so that chemists can get together, learn from each other, and build relationships. In short, IUPAC helps scientists all around the world do their jobs more effectively and efficiently.
