The GDCh Abitur Prize is an award presented by the German Chemical Society (GDCh) to the best chemistry students at grammar schools or comprehensive schools. The GDCh Abitur Prize aims to strengthen interest in chemistry among the top students.

This is interesting for anyone planning to study natural sciences or engineering, not just prospective students of chemistry, biochemistry, food chemistry , or chemistry teacher training. Each school may award one awardee per graduating class with a book prize and has the right to offer two additional deserving graduates a one-year, free membership. The prize is usually awarded during the graduation ceremony.

Since 2005, 2,900 schools across Germany have participated in the awarding of this coveted prize.

The GDCh Abitur award currently consists of

 

• a book (only possible for one awardee)
• a certificate with a letter of congratulation from the GDCh managing director
• a free GDCh membership for one year (upon request) and free Online receipt of Nachrichten aus der Chemie

The German Chemical Society (GDCh) is awarding the GDCh Abitur Prize for the 22nd time this year. You can find the current call for proposals for entries and the registration form here.
