We, the Senior Expert Chemists (SEC), are mostly chemists who have retired from active professional life and are organised under the umbrella of the GDCh. Most of us have a university education. Most of us have over 30 years of professional experience gained in positions of responsibility in industrial companies, educational institutions, research institutes or public authorities. We make this knowledge and experience available to the organisation. The focal points of our interests are:
- to strengthen the reputation of chemistry in the public eyeOur commemorative publication 15 years of SEC for download.
Women and men (or others) are of course treated equally. However, for the sake of readability, we use the generic masculine for personal designations.
The SEC annual meeting is the joint identification project of the senior chemistry experts. The meetings usually take place every two years at different locations. High-calibre presentations, sufficient time for discussion and the opportunity to form and maintain networks attract up to 250 participants. more

Public relationsWe promote a better understanding of chemistry among the public. We communicate the concerns of senior chemists in the GDCh and society. We promote the networking of senior citizens within the GDCh, focussing on conferences, lectures, publications and excursions. Cooperation with the local associations and young chemists is particularly important to us. more... | Schule Bildung BerufWe put our knowledge and experience at the service of chemistry education at every age. We focus on lectures at schools and other educational institutions. Internally, we work together with the GDCh specialist group "Chemistry Education".
