Summary The Polymer Division of IUPAC apart from its initial activities in the field of nomenclature and terminology of polymers has been pursuing additional goals, among them polymer education. A Subcommittee on Polymer Education was established in 2005, sessions on polymer education have been part of the IUPAC MACRO World Polymer Congress series since 2004, a polymer education website has been set‐up and several recurrent polymer education events are regularly supported and accompanied by the Polymer Division. These activities are reviewed here.
