Chemistry International Vol. 21, No. 1 January 1999 Reports from IUPAC Sponsored Symposia   The OECD Workshop on Sustainable Chemistry The Workshop on Sustainable Chemistry (hosted by the Interuniversity Consortium Chemistry for the Environment) was held at Fondazione Cini (Venice, Italy) from 15-17 October 1998. This international event was co-sponsored by the governments of Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States in cooperation with the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD (BIAC). The IUPAC Working Party on Synthetic Pathways and Processes in Green Chemistry The first aim of the meeting was to create a network of single IUPAC initiatives in the field of sustainable chemistry among the CHEMRAWN Committee and the Subcommittee on Synthesis of the Organic Division. 9th IUPAC International Congress of Pesticide Chemistry The Congress theme for 1998 was "The Food and Environment Challenge", reflecting the problem of feeding the ever increasing world population in the next millennium while also meeting the high demands for environmental quality and a safe food supply. Special Panel Discussion Session at the 9th International Congress of Pesticide Chemistry The 9th Congress offered an opportunity for university and government pesticide scientists from around the world to compare experiences of their funding situations, in a special session organized while the Congress was in progress. The 9th International Symposium on Novel Aromatic Compounds (ISNA-9) Aromatic compounds are those compounds that, owing to particular arrangements of their p-electrons, possess unusual chemical, physical, and biological properties. The wide spectrum of aromatic compounds today ranges from high potency pharmaceuticals to high-tech materials with special electronic, optical, and magnetic responses. Some of these materials even mimic the functions of enzymes in biological systems.
