Liebig Association for Organic Chemistry

Organic chemistry is a key discipline in modern chemistry and the natural sciences. It is a core element of many highly topical areas of research and ranges, for example, from materials science, catalysis and combinatorial chemistry to supramolecular and biological chemistry.

The Liebig Association is the Division of the GDCh devoted to topics in organic chemistry in both the narrower and broader senses.

One of its main aims is to raise and strengthen awareness of the significance and potential of organic chemistry in the modern natural sciences.

The members of the Liebig Association therefore pursue activities in the following areas:

• public relations and vocational training for schools and universities, teachers and pupils, and society and politics
• Modernisation and quality assurance of chemistry degree programmes
• Stimulating new fields of research and strengthening current research projects
• Promoting early-career scientists and strengthening international exchange programmes
• Strengthening cooperation and exchange between academia and industry
• Promoting interdisciplinary contacts and projects
• Strengthening and innovating the scientific publishing landscape
• Strengthening and highlighting safety, environmental protection and sustainability
