About WiFo
The German Chemical Society (GDCh) is one of the worlds largest and most important chemical societies with around 30,000 members from science, business and the liberal professions. Every two years, the GDCh organizes the GDCh Science Forum Chemistry (abbreviated WiFo) at different locations in Germany. At WiFo, chemistry is presented in all its breadth as an integrative scientific discipline. Topics include synthesis and catalysis, life sciences, materials, energy, resources and environment. A trade exhibition will accompany the congress.
