 The '''International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry''' (IUPAC) is an international federation comprising National Adhering Organisations dedicated to the advancement of the chemical sciences. Its primary focus is on developing nomenclature and terminology within the field. IUPAC is a member of the [[International Science Council]] (ISC) and is registered in Zürich, [[Switzerland]]. The organisation's administrative office, known as the "IUPAC Secretariat", is located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, [[United States]]. The executive director oversees this administrative office, and the current executive director is Greta Heydenrych. IUPAC plays a crucial role in standardising chemical communication and fostering collaboration among chemists worldwide.
+IUPAC was established in 1919 as the successor to the ''International Congress of Applied Chemistry'', with the mission of advancing the field of chemistry. Its membership consists of National Adhering Organisations, which may include national chemistry societies, national academies of sciences, or other entities representing chemists. Currently, IUPAC has fifty-four National Adhering Organisations and three Associate National Adhering Organisations.
+The Inter-divisional Committee on Nomenclature and Symbols, commonly referred to as IUPAC nomenclature, serves as the recognised global authority for developing standards for naming chemical elements and compounds. Since its inception, IUPAC has been governed by various committees, each tasked with distinct responsibilities. These committees undertake a range of projects, including standardizing nomenclature, promoting the accessibility of chemistry to the public, and publishing scientific works. Through these efforts, IUPAC plays a vital role in fostering communication and collaboration within the global chemistry community.
