Divisions
The ADUC promotes science and research in the field of chemistry, as well as the training of early-career researchers.
The Division of Analytical Chemistry gives analytical chemistry a strong voice in science, business, politics and the public.
The Division brings together chemistry and economics. Its members form an international chemical industry network.
Members of the Division of Biochemistry study the molecular foundations of living systems.
Members of this organisation include experts in the didactics of chemistry and teachers. They are committed to improving and maintaining the quality of chemical education.
The experts of the Division address scientific and technical issues relating to the energy supply of the future.
The aim of the Working Group is to further develop and modernise chemical and scientific teaching in medical degree programmes.
This Division brings together expertise in the fields of chemistry of construction materials and building materials, encourages the exchange of information and provides new impetus.
The members work in government agencies, public offices, as well as technical inspection associations, employers’ liability insurance associations and other public-sector employers.
The Division brings together experts in the computer-based acquisition, processing and documentation of information and knowledge in chemistry.
The Division provides a forum for interested parties from industry, public authorities, universities and research institutes to discuss topics relating to detergents and cleaning products.
The Division aims to promote all areas of electrochemistry, from fundamental research to application.
Members of the Division investigate the fate of chemicals in the environment and their effects on organisms and habitats.
Fluorine compounds are used in a variety of fields – from applied electrochemistry to medicine. This is the focus of the Working Group’s work.
Members are self-employed entrepreneurs. The topics range from sampling and analysis, through expert reports and consultancy, to research and documentation.
The Division focuses on the history of chemistry and its significance for current challenges, as well as the societal benefits of scientific progress.
Members cover a broad range of topics, from classical organic chemistry, materials science and catalysis to biological chemistry.
