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 44th
IUPAC General Assembly will be held 4-12 August 2007, in
Torino, Italy, concurrently with the 41st
IUPAC Congress. This Information Booklet contains information
regarding the arrangements for the General Assembly.
The GA venue
will be in the facilities of the Universita di Torino and the
Politecnico di Torino, located in the right hand side of the Lingotto
Complex (as viewed from the Via Nizza). The address is Via Nizza
230. The Lingotto buildings were built in the 1920s to serve as
one of the first Fiat auto factories and were restructured by
the architect Renzo Piano in the late 1980s to become an advanced
multifunctional complex. Lingotto is a multifaceted facility,
with an area of some hundred thousand square meters over four
floors. The complex has an array of halls and meeting rooms equipped
to serve a wide variety of purposes catering from 10 up to 2100
people. The facilities include a Conference Centre, a Fair Centre,
an exhibition building, a hotel, an art gallery, a shopping centre,
a multiplex cinema, car parks, and various restaurants and cafés.
The
GA registration desk will open on Friday August 3rd
from 14:00 to 17:00 and everyday after from 8:00 to 18:00.
The GA registration desk will be located on the 3rd floor
of the University of Torino part of the Lingotto building.
The entrance and elevators are on the north end of the building.
Signs will be posted on the outside of the Lingotto, on the
corner of the Via Nizza. |
The
IUPAC Congress, held in conjunction with the General Assembly,
will take place at the Lingotto Conference Centre. Please take
a moment to review the Congress web site <www.iupac2007.org>.

in the IUPAC GA by also attending the Congress. The Promoting
Committee IUPAC 2007 in conjunction with the Società Chimica
Italiana (SCI) have arranged an impressive scientific programme

and Cultural Heritage.
We
look forward to seeing you in Torino!
