Sebastian Balser
Sebastian Balser is a PhD Student at the Goethe University in Frankfurt, working in the field of material chemistry, where he combines organic synthesis and surface analytics for applications in structural biology. He joined the German Chemical Society (GDCh) and its young chemists’ network in 2015 and has taken over various responsibilities within the network. He was the regional team leader from 2017 to 2019 in Frankfurt and started to support the European Young Chemists’ Network (EYCN) of the European Chemical Society (EuChemS) in 2019 in the science team. In 2021 he was elected to the board of the EYCN and is now the science team leader within the EYCN. As science team leader he is responsible for events like the EYCN podcast, various digital competitions and other projects that promote chemistry among students and everyone interested.
We are a young division of the European Chemical Society (EuChemS) and represent the interests of all young chemists in Europe under the age of 35. Our diverse team has young representatives from 28 countries who aim to:
- Create an exchange platform for university and industry
- Bring chemistry closer to awider audience
- Support young chemist sat the early stage of their career
