Who we are - What we do

Organic chemistry is a key discipline in modern chemistry and the natural sciences. It is at the heart 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 the narrower and broader sense.

A major concern is to raise and strengthen awareness of the importance and potential of organic chemistry in modern science.

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
• Modernization and quality control of chemistry courses
• Stimulating new fields of research and strengthening current research projects
• Promotion of young scientists and strengthening of international exchange programs
• Strengthening of cooperation and exchange between universities and industry
• Promotion of interdisciplinary contacts and projects
• Strengthening and innovation for the scientific publication landscape
• Strengthening and accentuation in the area of safety, environmental protection and sustainability
