The Board of the LChG would like to make membership in our society even more attractive for young colleagues, in addition to the many advantages it already offers. He has therefore decided that new student members will receive a one-time free ticket to the German Food Chemists' Day during the period of their student membership in the LChG. You can use it to determine the year of your participation in the Food Chemists Day yourself. This should make it easier for young academics to gain their first experience with scientific Conferences and to make the first contacts that will later be indispensable for successful professional activity.

In addition, the "Science in Studies" funding initiative was launched in 2016. Through this initiative, students are introduced to science in the early phase of their training, in which their participation in the Food Chemists Day is financially supported. In addition, the participants can be accompanied on the food chemists' day by experienced AG JLCists if requested. The processing takes place via the WG JLC.
