Photochemistry

Who we are – what we do

The GDCh Division of Photochemistry was founded in Karlsruhe in 1971 and has around 400 members. Its objectives in the field of photochemistry and related areas are:

  • to promote the exchange of ideas among specialists and provide professional inspiration,
  • to maintain relations with corresponding organisations abroad,
  • to establish or strengthen subject-specific teaching in chemical education at universities,
  • to act as a link between industrial development and academic research, and
  • to support early-career scientists.

Current areas of focus
The field represented by the Division is interdisciplinary and encompasses areas of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. In addition to these traditional topics, there are overarching areas of focus.
