We also communicate with various target groups via our social media channels Twitter, LinkedIn, facebook, Instagram, and our YouTube channel youtube.com/@gdch. You can also find updates for members and other interested parties on our News page. Our GDCh app, which can also be downloaded free of charge from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, is particularly suitable for users of mobile devices.

Our brochures and scientific publications can be found under Publications. You can find an overview of all publications, including publications by our Divisions, our statistics on chemistry courses, annual reports, etc. under Downloads. A compilation of publications on relevant topics is published on our Top Topics page.

press service
We organize 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 provide experts from various fields. Please note, however, that we usually forward inquiries to our respective Divisions , which are looking for experts in their ranks. So it may take some time before we can arrange a contact person.

Events for the interested public
In addition to our scientific events for chemical specialists, we regularly organize events for the general public. There we present chemistry-related topics that are of interest to society. We are represented at international trade fairs and congresses in Germany and abroad, as well as at events for students and teachers.

Highlights of "Angewandte Chemie"

Angewandte Chemie is one of the most important journals of the GDCh. The weekly journal ranks first among all chemical journals in the world in the Citation Index - a measure of reading frequency and quality of articles. For research chemists, the "Angewandte" is required reading. The press releases of Angewandte Chemie can be found here.
