We, the Senior Expert Chemists (Senior Expert Chemists; SEC), are mostly chemists who have retired from active professional life and who organize ourselves under the umbrella of the GDCh. Most of us have a college education. We have gained our professional experience, mostly over 30 years, in responsible positions in industrial companies, educational institutions, research institutes or authorities. We make this knowledge and experience available to society. The main areas of our interests are:
- to strengthen the reputation of chemistry among the public
- to deepen the public's understanding of chemistry
- To learn and pass on chemistry knowledge throughout your life
- To build networks of chemists at home and abroad
- maintain international contacts
Our commemorative publication 15 years of the SEC can be downloaded.
For us, women and men (or others) are of course equal. However, for the sake of better readability, we use the generic masculine when describing people.
