We present preliminary results of VLT/FORS spectroscopy of globular clusters in nearby early-type galaxies. Our project aims at studying the chemistry and determine the ages of globular cluster (sub-)populations. First results indicate that the different galaxies host from little to significant intermediate-age populations, and that the latter have alpha-element over iron ratios closer to solar than the old population that show an alpha-element enhancement similar to the diffuse stellar light.
