Who we are — What we do

The Senior Expert Chemists

We, the Senior Expert Senior Expert Chemists (SEC), are mostly retired chemists who organize ourselves under the umbrella of the GDCh. Most of us have a university education. We have gained our professional experience, usually 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 public image of chemistry
- to deepen the public's understanding of chemistry
- To learn and pass on chemistry knowledge throughout life
- To build networks of chemists at home and abroad
- maintain international contacts

Our commemorative publication 15 years of SEC is available for download.

We naturally treat women and men (or others) equally. However, for the sake of better readability, we use the generic masculine form when referring to people.
