The Swiss Chemical Society transformed it's former analytical sciences education organization (DAS courses) into the SCS Academy and expanded the fields of education topics to all domains that are relevant for chemical and pharmaceutical scientists and lab technicians.

Current Offers / Course Catalogue

Visit the SCS Academy website for current offerings: academy.scg.ch

In addition to the established courses in analytical sciences (spectroscopy, separation techniques, quality assurance and information management), we now offer new courses in the fields of laboratory basics and environmental sciences.
From beginners to experts, all level of users are within our target group. We offer our courses in collaboration with industrial partners to ensure the relevance of application.

Within the framework of the Spring Meeting of the Swiss Chemical Society the Division of Chemical Education organises a symposium for those involved in teaching chemistry at different levels such as Sek I, Sek II, Universities of Applied Sciences (FH) and Universities. The major objective of this symposium are the challenges related to teaching chemistry in the first year of the studies at the university.

Professors and teachers from all Swiss universities and also external speakers will share their view, experience, strategies and solutions gained and developed while dealing with the chemistry courses for a large body of students, who just recently left the high schools and commenced their studies at the university.

The event will provide ideas and best practice in theoretical, practical and experimental chemical education and targets qualified teachers from secondary school on upwards and will take place as an online symposium.

Register here. (Deadline for Registration is April 2nd, 2021)

Flyer "Future of Chemical Education" 

We are looking forward to an exciting event and hope to initialize a successful initiative to promote chemical education on all teaching levels.

Given its increasing importance, the Swiss Chemical Society (SCS) decided to extend its activities into the area of chemical education. The new Division of Chemical Education (DCE), which now is in the process of being established, shall support the interaction of educators and teachers of chemistry at all levels. The possibility to interact with scientists of the other SCS divisions will create bridges between research and education. To launch this process, the symposium “Future of Chemical Education”, which is part of the next SCS Fall Meeting, will be held at University of Zürich on September 15, 2016.

The event will provide ideas and best practice in theoretical, practical and experimental chemical education and targets qualified teachers from secondary school on upwards.
