Events
Once a year, the GDCh Division of Paints and Coatings Chemistry invites you to the GDCh Conference on Paints and Coatings (formerly the Coatings Conference), a multi-day scientific conference held at changing attractive locations throughout Germany. For many years, the successful and popular Summer School has taken place alongside the Conference. Students in the field of coating materials have the opportunity to further their education in selected subject areas. Participation in the Summer School is financially supported by the Division and sponsors.
