WE Heraeus Communication Programme for participation in conferences (Communication Programme)

Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Communication Programme of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft e. V. for scientific communication between young generation scientists

Young scientists are one of the most important target groups for the activities of the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation. In 1989, the Foundation and the DPG jointly established a programme that gives young physicists at an early period of their scientific career (master's, diploma or doctoral thesis) the opportunity to present their own research results to a critical audience of scientific experts.

Thanks

The Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft wants to express its thanks and gratitude for the generous support and assistance of young scientists by the Wilhelm und Else Heraeus-Stiftung. We hope that young physicists will continue to take the chance to communicate with scientists at the conferences – as already 44,800 young scientists have done before.
