Working group 6 - Publication #

Current status

Publishing on behalf of the SEC. The working groups "Events (social media)" and "Pro&Contra" already exist. The working group "Fascination Chemistry" has not yet been formally established, but E. Ehlers and U. Kraska have been active in this area for a long time.

Objectives

  • Coordinate contributions with the SEC board
  • Pro and Contra: at least 1 contribution per year in Nachrichten aus der Chemie
  • Events: 12 short posts with images, each published on LinkedIn and Instagram
  • Fascination Chemistry: 5–6 contributions per year
  • Continuously recruit new members

Proposed projects (subgroups)

"Pro&Contra": Articles in Nachrichten aus der Chemie"

"Fascination Chemistry": accessible articles for the website (close collaboration with GDCh public relations)

"Social Media Chemistry": Short posts on LinkedIn and Instagram about events that can be linked to chemistry.
