News from chemistry and the GDCh

Information and contacts

Press releases and social media
Our Chemistry Press Service informs daily newspapers, journals, radio, television, and Online media about current events in chemistry. We provide information about our Conferences and other events, publish statements and position papers, and report on other GDCh activities.

We also communicate with various target groups via our social media channels LinkedIn, Instagram, Bluesky, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter ), and our YouTube channel youtube.com/@gdch. Current information for members and other interested parties can also be found on our homepage. Our GDCh app, which is also available for free download from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, is particularly suitable for mobile device users.

Our brochures and scientific publications can be found under Publications. An overview of all publications, including publications from our Divisions, our statistics on chemistry degree programs, annual reports, etc., can be found under Downloads. A compilation of publications on relevant topics is available on our Top Topics page.

Press service
We hold press conferences at important Conferences such as the GDCh Chemistry Science Forum. For background research and questions from journalists, we offer to connect you with experts from various fields. Please note, however, that we generally forward inquiries to our respective Divisions , which are looking for experts within their ranks. It may therefore take some time before we can connect you with a contact person.

Events for the interested public
In addition to our scientific events for chemistry professionals, we regularly organize events for the general public. There, we present chemistry-related topics of interest to society. We are represented at international trade fairs and conferences both at home and abroad, as well as at events for students and teachers.
