German Society for Catalysis

Website of the German Society for Catalysis


The German Catalysis Society (GeCatS) is the central representative body of the German catalysis community and an information platform for catalysis research and application.

The activities of the sponsoring societies DECHEMA, VDI-GVC, GDCh, DBG, and DGMK in the field of catalysis are thus brought together under one umbrella. The tasks and goals of the society, which currently comprises approximately 1100 members, include promoting young scientists, enhancing the reputation of the field among the general public, establishing a platform for discussing current scientific issues, disseminating information on research policy publications and studies, cooperating with other national, European, and international organizations, lobbying funding bodies, and organizing and conducting the "Annual Meeting of German Catalytics Scientists."

Membership in the German Society for Catalysis is open to every member of the five sponsoring societies without additional fees.
