Liebig Lectureship

In 1999, the Liebig Association organized a series of lectures

- the Liebig Lectureship -

for outstanding young scientists in organic chemistry, preferably from other European countries.

This series of lectures takes the award winners – the Liebig Lecturers – on a scientific trip to Germany to several universities or research institutes of their choice.

The Liebig Association for Organic Chemistry in the GDCh is once again advertising the Liebig Lectureship for awarding in 2025. The award is intended to go to an outstanding young scientist in organic chemistry, preferably from another European country. The associated trip to Germany will take the award winner to several universities or research institutes of their choice, where they will report on their own scientific work. The Board of the Liebig Association will decide on the selection of the lecturer.

Suitable candidates should be nominated with a letter of motivation, curriculum vitae and list of publications by Tuesday, April 15, 2025, exclusively in electronic form to n.buerger@gdch.de.
