Status quo

Identification of current and potentially controversial topics of social interest. Open and fair discourse on these topics and subsequent opinion-forming. Developing proposals for publishing these opinions in a suitable form: either commissioning the "Publishing" working group or forming a subgroup for the purpose of publication.
Examples of topics include climate and energy, environmental protection, chemicals in the environment, the future of the chemical industry, raw materials, the hydrogen economy, e-fuels, etc.
Current media contributions to all (newspaper, radio, ....)

Goals

• Two meetings per year in a large group; usually online meetings (no hybrid meeting). Wolfgang Gerhartz or Franz Schütz can organise meetings, but do not have to attend the meetings.
• Prepare statements for publication
• Check suitability for "Nachgerechnet" (newsletter)
• Continuously provide for new members

Projects under consideration

Suggest topics, e.g. for "Recalculated", "Pros and cons", "Fascination of chemistry", "Occasions for short essays in social media".
