Press releases and social media
Our chemistry press office informs daily newspapers, journals, radio, television, and Online media about current developments in chemistry. We provide information about our Conferences and other events, publish statements and position papers, and report on other activities of the GDCh (German Chemical Society).
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 website. Our GDCh app, which is available for free download in 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 on the occasion of important Conferences such as the GDCh Science Forum Chemistry. 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 , who are looking for experts within their ranks. Therefore, it may take some time before we can connect you with a contact person.
Events for the interested public
In addition to our scientific events for chemical professionals, we regularly organize events for the general public. At these events, we present topics related to chemistry that are of interest to society. We are represented at international trade fairs and congresses both in Germany and abroad, as well as at events for students and teachers.
Here you will find all position papers and statements published by the GDCh.
On these pages you will find some videos from the GDCh. You can find more videos on our YouTube channel, which you can access at https://www.youtube.com/@GDCh
You can find the JCF (Young Chemistry Forum) podcast at https://podcast.jcf.io/
