Under the motto "Darmstadt: the chemistry is right", the senior chemistry experts also hosted a section at the GDCh Science Forum in Darmstadt (GDCh-WiFo) on 3 Sep 2013. Four speakers represented well-known chemistry-related companies from the Darmstadt area:

• Prof. Dr Sigurd Hofmann: GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionen-
  forschung: "Neue chemische Elemente."
• Prof. Dr Thomas Schreckenbach, formerly of Merck KGaA: "Wissenschaft und Kunst: Weggefährten und Schwestern im Geist."
• Dr. Klaus Murjahn, Deutsche Amphibolinwerke GmbH: "As a medium-sized company on the world market."
• Dipl. Ing. Gregor Hetzke, Evonik Industries AG: "100 years of the future - (poly)acrylates and methacrylates".

In addition, the senior chemists exhibited four posters about their work as SECs:

Another poster was dedicated to famous chemists who worked at TU Darmstadt, and three posters reported on research work by members of the SEC.
