Cooperation partner
In order to present to you one of the most highest-value congress programs, we have been collaborating with various organizations.
Cosmetic Science Conference (CSC) of DGK e.V. together with the SEPAWA CONGRESS 2025
For the 5th time, the Cosmetic Science Conference will again take place together with the SEPAWA CONGRESS from 15 to 17 October 2025.
The motto of the CSC is “Cosmetic Meets Science – Sustainable Cosmetics and Interdisciplinary Research: Chemistry, AI, Environmental Science”. The conference will showcase the development of cosmetic sciences and provide valuable background information on current topics in cosmetics. In addition to presentations by renowned speakers, the event offers a valuable framework for networking and expert discussions.
German Chemical Society
The aim of the GDCh Division of Detergent Chemistry is to offer a forum for interested parties from industry, authorities, universities, institutes and the media to discuss all technological questions about detergents and cleaning agents in an open and constructive way. Particular attention is paid to science-oriented statements on the sustainable benefits for people in their environment.
A special concern of the division is the promotion of young scientists by awarding scholarships and awards (Division Award for special achievements in the field of detergents chemistry, subsidy awards for basic research, and poster prizes).
For its annual symposium, the European Detergents Conference (EDC), the division invites renowned experts from industry and academia, to present their most recent research results in the form of lectures and posters. During the EDC, both the prestigious Division Award and a number of poster prizes are presented.
Our Primary Focus at the SEPAWA CONGRESS 2025
