Chemists in Civil Service

Who we are - What we do

In the public sector, chemists work in the state monitoring offices, in the federal, state and local environmental authorities and in many other areas such as the fire brigade and customs offices.

Their range of activities is correspondingly diverse. It ranges from pure research activity, work in laboratories and science administration to advisory, evaluation and monitoring activities.

The declared goal of the Working Group founded in March 1994 and raised to the rank of a GDCh Division in December 2004 is the

specific promotion of the scientific/professional interests of this group
Use of the expertise and influence of the members of this group in terms of the tasks of the GDCh (e.g. in work, environmental and consumer protection).

members

The members of the Chemists in Civil Service' work are directly in the area of tension between business, science and society. In addition to your chemical specialist knowledge, you will need extensive knowledge of legal regulations and socio-political backgrounds.

They take part in public discussions to objectify publicly relevant issues, acting as a neutral and objective link.
