Who we are - What we do

Organic chemistry is a key discipline in modern chemistry and the natural sciences. It is a core part 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 both the narrow and broad sense.

A main concern is to raise 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 vocational training for schools and universities, for teachers and students, for society and politics
• Modernisation and quality assurance of chemistry degree programmes
• Stimulating new research fields and strengthening current research projects
• Promoting young scientists and strengthening international exchange programs
• Strengthening cooperation and exchange between universities and industry
• Promoting interdisciplinary contacts and projects
• Strengthening and innovation for the scientific publishing landscape
• Strengthening and accentuation in the areas of safety, environmental protection and sustainability
