Current call for proposals for applications for the GDCh Graduation Award award (formerly GDCh Absolventenpreis award)

In 2022, for the 17th time, the German Chemical Society (GDCh) is offering a prize for the best graduates of chemistry-related training courses such as chemical-technical assistants (CTA), chemical laboratory assistants or chemical engineering technicians. Graduates from neighboring disciplines such as PTA and BTA can also receive the prize.

Each school may award one awardee per year and has the right to offer two other graduates who are worthy of an award free one-year membership in the GDCh. As a rule, the prize is awarded when the final certificate is handed over.

The final prize includes a certificate, a book prize and the opportunity to become a member of the GDCh and the GDCh working group on vocational education for one year free of charge.

The Working Group Vocational Education represents the interests of non-academic GDCh members. The aim is to bring together all people who are interested in industrial and school education in the chemical sector and its related fields, and to create a platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences. Technical suggestions on the subject of “vocational education” should also be given and their content further developed ( www.gdch.de/bb ). The free, one-year membership in the Working Group Vocational Education requires membership in the GDCh.

For 2023, teachers are called upon to select their best graduates again and to nominate them for the final award no later than three weeks before the graduation certificate is handed over.

The registration of the school and the awardee takes place exclusively online via the registration link on this website. Registrations by e-mail cannot be considered.
