Online Congress  /  August 29, 2021  -  September 01, 2021

GDCh Science Forum Chemistry digital for the first time

Most important chemistry congress in the German-speaking region

The GDCh Scientific Forum on Chemistry (WiFo) 2021 will take place from August 29 to September 1, for the first time completely online due to the pandemic. The most important chemistry congress in the German-speaking region with usually more than 2000 participants from Germany and abroad is organized by the German Chemical Society (GDCh).

Fraunhofer UMSICHT represents the joint project Carbon2Chem® at the science forum as part of the administrative office. At a virtual booth, scientists will provide insights into current research work around the question of how metallurgical gases, which are produced during steel production, can be tapped as a valuable raw material source for the chemical industry.

In addition, Prof. Dr. Robert Schlögl, one of three project coordinators and managing director at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion, will give a lecture on August 30.
