Who we are – What we do

Since November 2023, the GDCh Division of Macromolecular Chemistry has had a youth organisation, providing a place for young people interested in polymers: to network and to learn about and discuss current topics in industry. We want to bring school pupils, students and doctoral researchers closer to industry and universities, and bring topics that are important and future-oriented for us to the Division.

To this end, there is a digital regulars’ meeting on the first Monday of every month at 6:30 pm (access link: https://meet.google.com/pjz-ixgt-sug). In this context, we will be happy to organise further events for and with you.

We look forward to your participation, questions and opinions, and of course to seeing you at the next Oligo regulars’ meeting! You can reach us at any time by email at oligos@go.gdch.de.

All student and young members of the Division of Macromolecular Chemistry are automatically members of Oligos.
