A warm welcome!

Who are we?

We are an association of early career researchers in the Department of Chemistry Education (from doctoral students to junior professors).

We would like to:

  • provide a platform for networking
  • enable exchange at eye level
  • support the academic careers of junior researchers
  • represent your interests in the Chemistry Education specialist group

What do we do?

We offer you a wide range of:

  • Regular onlinemeetings
  • Casual and relaxed exchange meetings at conferences
  • Opportunity for relaxed rehearsal presentations in front of an audience
  • Workshops
  • Writing weekends
  • Making contacts
  • Help with open questions

How can I become a member of the "Young Scientists" working group?

This is very easy. 1. write us an email and say hello so that we can welcome you. 2. click on the interactive map. Here you can enter your field of work and have the opportunity to contact other doctoral students and be contacted by others.

Great to have you here!

Dr Sabrina Syskowski

Hello dear FGCU members,

I am Dr Sabrina Syskowski and part of the FGCU's Young Scientists working group. In my new projects, I am developing teaching-learning environments for science teaching in schools and universities using augmented reality and investigating their use by analysing eye-tracking data. In addition to my research interests, I accompany my daughters on their canoe regattas and enjoy cycling. I look forward to being able to offer young scientists a space for exchange and further development through our programme. Contact by email

Nils Bergander

Hello dear FCGU members,

My name is Nils Bergander and I am a new member of the speaker team of the FGCU Young Researchers Working Group. As a doctoral student in Prof. Dr Insa Melle's working group at TU Dortmund University, I am investigating the effect of measures that promote learning goal transparency in multimedia, self-regulated learning. I look forward to exchanging ideas and initiating programmes for young academics. Contact by email

Junior Professor Dr Johann-Nikolaus Seibert

Hello dear FGCU members,

I am Junior Professor Dr Johann-Nikolaus Seibert and a new member of the FGCU's Young Scientists Working Group. I am very happy to support the interests of early career researchers and look forward to speaking with and, above all, for you. In my research, I am investigating innovative teaching-learning formats, in particular to promote self-regulated learning in chemistry and in the student laboratory, and thus to optimise the self-regulation of pupils and chemistry (teacher training) students.
