Return to the
General Assembly index
There were 440 participants at the IUPAC General Assembly in Torino,
Italy. Of that number, 345 were members of IUPAC bodies, 32 were invited
Observers, and 111 were Council Delegates from 43 National Adhering
Organizations. The Round
Tables Discussions attracted 67 participants, while the World
Chemistry Leadership Meeting (WCLM) had 75. The individual totals
are greater than the overall total because a number of Delegates were
also Members of IUPAC bodies. A summary of the actions taken by the
Council and Bureau follows, including the results of the elections for
IUPAC Officers and Bureau Members.
