© DFG, March 2019 This publication was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. CHEMISTRY PREFACE

Germany has a long-standing tradition of excellence in chemistry education and research. This brochure provides an insight into research in Germany in the field of chemistry and is especially recommended to early career researchers from abroad.

Chemical research in Germany is primarily conducted at universities but also at non-university research institutions. Almost all universities and many universities of applied sciences host a chemical research section. The spectrum ranges from small monothematic working groups to large interdisciplinary departments and covers a variety of topics from traditional areas to new explorative research fields.

This brochure is intended to give an initial overview.The following map and tables highlight research consortia and graduate training programmes at universities and non-university research institutes with a main focus on chemical research.

On top of this, there is a lot more to discover: e.g. the DFG funds a multitude of individual projects in chemical research. These individual grants outweigh the research consortia both in number and in overall funding volume. Towards the end of this brochure, you will find a link to the online database GEPRIS that provides an overview of all DFG funded research projects. You will also find additional important links for further information about programmes in the field of chemistry and profiles of German universities and research institutions.

We invite you to explore the many opportunities that Germany has to offer and welcome your feedback.
