Under the direction of Petra Schultheiß-Reimann, the working group education " Chemistry Experiences: Ammonia." The symposium took place as part of the annual conference of the Division of Chemical Education (FGCU) at the University of Erlangen: Friday, September 19, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:55 a.m.

From September 17 to 19, 2025, teachers, didacticians, teacher trainees, and doctoral students met in Erlangen to exchange their experiences and new trends in didactics, see FGCU2025.

The concept of the presentations submitted by the SEC is based on didactically selected experiments for understanding chemical equilibrium. They are embedded in the history of the Haber-Bosch process and the future of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier. The third lecture, in particular, fits perfectly with the Conference 's theme, " Global Transformation."

We have secured three outstanding speakers for this lecture series “A Chemical Balance as a Lever for World Nutrition and Decarbonization”:

 

• Ekkehard Schwab: 112 Years of the Haber-Bosch Process – Collaboration between Science and Industry (Discussion Lecture)
• Alfred Flint: Eyeglass lenses, baking powder and soldering iron – from the phenomenon to chemical equilibrium according to the concept of “Chemistry for Life ” (experimental lecture)
• Benedikt Steinbach: Ammonia as the key to decarbonization – New approaches and technologies for an old molecule? (Discussion lecture)
