The congress will be held in the new Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre located on the banks of Melbourne’s Yarra River in the heart of the city.

The program of the 12th IUPAC ICPC will host an extensive scientific program with world leading plenary speakers and symposia.  The program will also be enriched by an extensive poster display and sessions to encourage interaction within the scientific community.

The program will host an extensive scientific program with world leading plenary speakers.  As in past Congresses, the principal means of communication will be posters, enriched by a small number of oral symposia.  Posters will be presented individually and many will also be organized into interactive discussion sessions.
