Symposia "... yes - but how?"

In 2019, the working group public relations of the Senior Expert Chemists launched a new series of symposiums to address current topics. These include the energy transition, climate change, the EU Green Deal (including total herbicides), green genetic engineering (genome editing) and the environmental impact of plastics that are difficult to degrade.

Based on the positive experiences of the kick-off event on the topic of "energy transition" on October 30, 2019 in the Max Buchner Hall of DECHEMA in Frankfurt/Main, this format will continue to take place exclusively as a face-to-face event in the future. In addition to the members of the Division of Senior Expert Chemists , the target groups are also the general public, whom we want to reach through various networks. Each of these moderated events will consist of four specialist lectures. The speakers will be proven competent natural scientists, representatives of industry, economics and Business Administration , and politics. The events are planned every two years. Due to Corona, the symposium planned for 2021 had to be postponed to autumn 2022. Invitations will be sent out in good time.

So far, the following symposia have taken place or are being planned:
