At the GDCh Science Forum in Bremen from 4–7 September 2011, the Senior Expert Chemists (SEC) were represented with scientific lectures and posters (see also Nachr Chem. 2011, 59, 709). The motto of the Science Forum was “Chemistry Creates the Future”, and the SEC lectures were held under the heading “Biographical and Chemical.” Many, but not all, lectures are available as PDFs.
