Who we are - what we do

Organic Chemistry is a major discipline in modern chemistry and in the natural sciences. It is at the heart of many highly topical research areas and ranges from Materials Science, catalysis and combinatorial chemistry to supramolecular and biological chemistry. The Liebig Association is the division of the GDCh that is dedicated to the topics of organic chemistry in the narrower as well as the broader sense. One of the main concerns is to awaken and strengthen awareness of the importance and potential of organic chemistry in modern natural sciences. The members of the Liebig Association develop activities on the following topics:

 

• Public relations and further education for schools and universities, for teachers and students, for society and politics
• Modernization and quality assurance of chemistry courses
• Stimulating new fields of research and strengthening current research projects
• Promotion of young academics and strengthening of international exchange programs
• Strengthening the collaboration and exchange between universities and industry
• Promotion of interdisciplinary contacts and projects
• Strengthening and innovation for the scientific publication landscape
• Strengthening and accentuating the areas of safety, environmental protection and sustainability
