* IACT (International Association of Chemical Thermodynamics) was established in 2002 to continue, and
indeed to expand, the role of the former IUPAC Commission I.2 on Thermodynamics in maintaining the highest
standards in teaching and research in this key area of chemistry. Its objectives include the provision of a forum
for communication among thermodynamicists for the exchange of ideas and results of recent research. To this
end it selects the venue and appoints the Chair for the biennial International Conferences on Chemical
Thermodynamics.
Membership is open to all qualified applicants, and those who wish to become members should indicate this on
their Registration Form. The two year USD 20 membership fee is included in the USD 380 or USD 450 fee.
Those electing to become members will be sent information (electronically) about IACT including the agenda of
the biennial business meeting held during the Conference, and they are encouraged to take an active part in the
Association and to propose new projects.
Due recognition of IACT has been made by the award of Associated Organisation status by IUPAC.
IACT is offering a number of awards, based on undergraduate or doctoral work in thermodynamics, which has
been carried out in the past two years. Applicants, who must be under 30 years of age (birthday on or after 21
August 1974), should submit an abstract of their paper, based on their research, with a note that they wish it to
be considered for an award. The abstract should be accompanied by a letter of support from their supervisor. A
special slot in the Conference programme will be made for the presentation of the award(s), and for the
winner(s) to give their papers. The prize will take the form of a certificate for the "IACT Junior Award for
Excellence in Thermodynamics". They will get some financial assistance towards travel costs to attend
the Conference. The actual number of awards will depend on the standard of the abstracts offered and the
finances available.

Fees for the active participants will cover the payments for the participation in all scientific sessions, a
copy of the Abstract Book and all printed materials of the conference, a welcome reception, a banquet, and
social events.

IUPAC Affiliates should send a copy of their IUPAC Affiliate Membership Certificate with their
registration.

Students should send their registration with a letter from their supervisor. Their fees will give the same
benefits as for active participants.

Fees for accompanying persons will cover the payments for a welcome reception, a banquet, and social
events.

Reduced registration fees are available for a restricted number of participants from East European and
developing countries. The condition for a reduced fee will be a scientific contribution to the scientific
program accepted in advance by the Program Committee. Those who intend to make use of this offer are
requested to send an application by Email to the secretariat giving their full address, information about
their professional status, and an abstract to present at the conference.
