Check out the IUPAC Young Observer Program through IUPAC (US citizens or permanent residents)

The International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is accepting applications to the Young Observer Program that will take place in The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. 18-25, 2023.
This program allows young scientists and engineers, under age 45, to build international collaborations, gain knowledge of global research activities, and participate in IUPAC activities. Young Observers attend meetings of IUPAC Divisions and Standing Committees in their particular areas of interest during the IUPAC World Chemistry Congress and General Assembly and learn about IUPAC activities.
Applicants under 35 will also have the opportunity to be considered for nomination to serve as a U.S. delegate to the International Younger Chemists Network (IYCN).
 
Learn more about the USNC IUPAC Young Observer Program. The application deadline is Dec. 15, 2022 at 5:00 PM ET. Please contact Liana Vaccari at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with any questions.
