working group for Equal Opportunities in Chemistry (AKCC)

The working group for Equal Opportunities in Chemistry (AKCC) was dissolved on December 31, 2017. This page is used for documentation and for further linking to the resulting GDCh Commission for Equal Opportunities in Chemistry.

The "working group Equal Opportunities in Chemistry - Section in the GDCh" (AKCC) was a substructure of the German Chemical Society and was initially founded as a working group in Frankfurt on March 24th, 2000 to primarily focus on the position of women in chemistry at all levels to strengthen. On January 1st, 2003, the working group was converted into a section, a GDCh structure with statutory status.

Goals and areas of work were

  • AKCC as an interdisciplinary, career-oriented offer
  • Equal opportunities as an internal task
  • women at work
  • Work-life balance
  • girls promotion
  • Contacts with other organizations

The vote to disband the AKCC was held in 2017 with a deadline of June 16.
