GDCh fact sheets

With the GDCh fact sheets, the GDCh would like to bring together the expert knowledge of top researchers in the relevant subject areas and make it available to the scientific community and the general public on various channels. For this purpose, the ChemFacts for Future group was founded in March 2020. In addition to the President of the GDCh, the founding staff initially includes chairpersons of various Divisions and working groups of the GDCh, who in the next step will nominate experts who will complement the team of those responsible. The first fact sheet was published in April 2020.

Fascination with chemistry

With this portal of the German Chemical Society we would like to bring you closer to the diversity - the fascination - of chemistry. On the one hand, we want to provide you with information on various subject areas and, on the other hand, we want to show that chemistry can be fun. The Fascination of Chemistry was released in spring 2019.

Here is the homepage of FaszinationChemie

From 2005 to 2019, the GDCh operated the Aktuelle Wochenschau, which was integrated into FaszinationChemie in 2020. In the current newsreel, a different subject of chemistry was the focus every year. The contributions were prepared by the members of the respective Divisions of the GDCh. Printed volumes are still available for some years and can be ordered free of charge from the GDCh.

Female chemists biographies

Even if, in retrospect, chemistry was dominated by men, there have always been women who have worked successfully as chemists. Unfortunately, most of them have been forgotten and their achievements have not been recognized. In order to posthumously honor these first women in chemistry, we are publishing short portraits at random to show them and their exciting and diverse career paths.
