DECHEMA Committees

Topical sections at DECHEMA

The thematic portfolio of DECHEMA committees ranges from A for "Algae Biotechnology" to Z for "Zeolites". Experts from universities, research institutions and industry meet in the specialist sections to network, exchange ideas, develop new ideas and implement them.

The specialist sections identify "white spots" in the research landscape and application-relevant topics, discuss them from the perspective of different disciplines and organizations and jointly develop positions and proposals. Core activities include the organization of scientific events, but also a wide range of publications.

Within the specialist sections, specialized groups offer the opportunity for in-depth scientific exchange.

Some of the specialist sections are still under construction; these websites are updated on an ongoing basis.

Cross-sectoral topics and "Think Tanks"

Many current topics - circular economy, digitalization, but also the effects of AI on process and plant safety - require the combined expertise of various disciplines. At DECHEMA, such issues are dealt with as cross-sectional topics across specialist sections. A current overview and details on the individual issues can be found here.

The cross-sectional topics also include cross-thematic "think tanks" that explore future topics beyond the boundaries of the committees.
