The VDI Society for Process Engineering and Chemical Engineering ( VDI-GVC ) is a German organization under the direction of the Association of German Engineers eV based in Düsseldorf . The chairman is Jürgen Dahlhaus, the managing director is Ljuba Woppowa.

tasks

The GVC is a specialist organization for engineers and other specialists who are active in the fields of chemical engineering and process technology as well as their related professional groups. The Process Engineering and Chemical Engineering Society concentrates on issues from process engineering and chemical engineering in the overall area of ​​science, technology, industry and public life, and looks after these disciplines in technical and professional terms. It represents over 13,000 VDI members.

The GVC awards the Arnold Eucken Prize every two years for outstanding technical and scientific work in the field of process engineering .

GVC, together with DECHEMA, is the organizer of the ChemCar competition, which has been taking place since 2006 .

history

The GVC emerged from the "Working Group for Consumer Goods Technology" founded at the VDI in 1934, whose first chairman was Arnold Eucken . In 1938 the name was changed to “Technical Committee Process Engineering”, 1953 to “Technical Group Process Engineering” and 1960 to “Process Engineering Society (VTG) in the VDI”.

The restructuring of the VDI into companies and the extensive correspondence between process engineering and chemical engineering were the reason for the renaming to "GVC · VDI-Gesellschaft process engineering and chemical engineering" from March 15, 1974. In the course of this restructuring, the "VDI- Specialist group food technology “in the GVC. In 2007 DECHEMA , the Society for Chemical Technology and Biotechnology eV, and VDI-GVC merged their specialist committees under the common umbrella ProcessNet .
