GDCh special fund for events

After a decision by the GDCh Executive Board in 2007, local chapter chairs and JCF spokespersons have been able to apply for funding for specific projects and events from the GDCh Special Fund. In addition, active local chapters with a colloquium programme that goes beyond the usual scope have been able to receive lump-sum grants from the GDCh Special Fund under certain conditions since 2010.

Special events and projects

Local association chairs and JCF spokespersons can apply for funding for specific projects and events from the GDCh Special Fund.

Prerequisites for approval:

  • Promotion of science or chemistry in particular
  • Innovative concept
  • Attracting a broad audience
  • Opportunity to recruit new GDCh members1

Conditions attached to the authorisation:

  • Good external visibility of the GDCh (e.g. logo, roll banner, reference in welcome speech)
  • Writing and publishing a report on the event afterwards in the News from Chemistry2
  • Reporting the number of members gained, if applicable published press reports

1 GDCh advertising and information materials will be made available.
2 Please note the deadlines of News from Chemistry.

Request application

The grant for a local association or JCF event from the GDCh Special Fund can be applied for by local association chairpersons or JCF spokespersons. The form can be requested by email.

The completed application should be received by the office at least three weeks before the start of the event. Approvals, partial approvals and rejections are possible.

Billing

For tax reasons, the approved amount can only be transferred to the corresponding local association or young chemists' account. The subsidy granted must be settled with the GDCh accounting department after the event.

OV colloquium programme

Since 2010, active local associations whose colloquia programme includes more than three lectures or events per half-year have had the opportunity to apply for a lump sum of 300 euros from the GDCh Special Fund for each additional lecture. These additional events should be on topics of general interest, which excludes inaugural lectures, named lectures, institute colloquia and other typical departmental events in particular.

As proof, the corresponding entries of all OV events held in the GDCh.app are sufficient.
The application is to be submitted informally by email to Ms Kling.
