The GDCh Division of Macromolecular Chemistry was founded in 1948 and currently has over 1300 members - including over a quarter student and young members. The division meets the current challenges in research, application and education in macromolecular chemistry and related disciplines through intensive internal and external exchange and makes an effective contribution to maintaining and promoting the competitiveness of Germany as a centre of science and industry.

Our aim is to promote science and research by

• Exchange of information and experience beyond the boundaries of the polymer science disciplines,
• Discussion and cooperation with other GDCh specialist groups as well as with associations and organisations in the field of polymer science,
• Dialogue on social developments,
• Dialogue on social developments, challenges and common goals of universities, institutes and industry,
• Ensuring excellent education and expanding a diverse university landscape and
• Promoting and supporting students and young academics as well as participating in the further training of professionals.

We pursue this goal through

• Organising an international scientific lecture event, the specialist group conference "MAKRO" (even years),
• Hosting the Junior Researcher Workshop University with selection of the Reimund Stadler Prize and of Scholarships for Young Scientists,
• Awarding of Travel grants,
• Involvement in the GDCh training programme (GDCh.academy).
