In 2017, the Chemists in Civil Service took part in the GDCh’s “Aktuelle Wochenschau” (Current Newsreel). They created weekly posts on the subject of "working in the public sector". The responsible project coordinators were the then chairman Dr. Reinhold Rühl and the head of GDCh public relations Dr. Karin J Schmitz.
The "Aktuelle Wochenschau" was operated by the German Chemical Society (GDCh) from 2005 to 2019. Each year, a different subject of chemistry was the focus. The contributions were prepared by the members of the respective GDCh Divisions .
