We founded the Association for Chemistry and Economics as a specialist group of the GDCh. It emerged from the "Chemistry and Economics" working group after three years of development work.

The Meyer-Galow Foundation for Industrial Chemistry under the umbrella of the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker e.V. organises the annual Meyer-Galow Prize for Industrial Chemistry.
The prize is awarded to a prizewinner who has successfully introduced a current innovation in chemistry to the market in German-speaking countries, either alone or with a team. It can be a product or a process. The invention that is brought to innovation can originate from the award winner, but does not have to. What is important is that he/she was the driving force behind its implementation on the market. The aim is therefore to honour the outstanding and successful transfer from chemistry to the market.
The prize is endowed with 10,000 euros.The VCW organises regulars' tables throughout Germany for its members more
In April 2013, the VCW published "News from the chemical industry: Perspectives 2025". The authors have drawn a multi-faceted picture of the future development potential of the European chemical industry from different perspectives. To open the magazine (PDF), please click on the cover image.
The association is managed by the Executive Board and the Core Team
.This management structure ensures that every VCW member can contribute their ideas and personal commitment and that the activities of the VCW are coordinated and administrative tasks are continuously performed.
With the establishment of the regulars' tables the VCW is fully in line with the trend, because the formation of so-called communities goes beyond pure networking.
