Support , further education and training programmes

Promoting young people's interest in physics and supporting future physicists are central concerns of the DPG. You can find an overview of corresponding programmes here.

WEH funding programme for conference participation

Up-and-coming talented young physicists have the opportunity to present their working results at the DPG Spring Meetings, the DPG Fall Meeting or at a meeting of the EPS and IUPAP to a critical specialist audience. The Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation provides financial support for this active conference participation and as well for the participation in DPG Workshops.mehr...

Physics for pupils

Often the financial means are lacking to make the lessons vivid, to implement projects or to show experiments not only thematically. Together with the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation, the DPG supports innovative school projects in the natural sciences.mehr...

Online Mathematics Bridge Course

The DPG is a partner in the Online Mathematik Brückenkurs (OMB+), an online mathematics bridge course which enables schoolchildren to repeat mathematics in compact form. The OMB+ gives an impression of the level of mathematics required for physics studies and enables targeted and early preparation for university studies.mehr...

DPG teacher training

The DPG promotes the professional and didactic further training of teachers. Up to five teacher training courses per year with different focuses and target groups are offered at the Physics Centre Bad Honnef. Teacher training days are also offered within the framework of the DPG Spring Conferences for the further training of teachers.mehr...

fobi-Ф: DPG programme for the promotion of teacher training

The fobi-Phi support programme offers financial support for the implementation of physics-related events and further training for teachers. With this programme, the DPG would like to motivate teachers to offer and conduct further training days or lecture series for teachers.mehr...

Laboratory visiting program

The program, initiated by the Industry and Economy working group of the German Physical Society, offers an informative event in cooperation with well-known companies and institutes, where young physics students can get to know typical jobs of physicists in an industrial environment.mehr...

DPG Mentoring Programme

Mentors have valuable experience in the various areas of professional life which they can pass on. The DPG would like to make this wealth of experience available to its student members. With this exchange of experience, the mentees are given the opportunity to better shape their own development.mehr...

Bad Honnef Physics Schools

Bad Honnef Physics Schools offer young researchers the possibility to deepen their knowledge and skills in advanced and cutting-edge topics in all areas of physics. The Schools address primarily PhD and Master students and they are open for international participation. The one-week Schools take place at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef (PBH) and are intended for 60 to 90 participating students.mehr...

Leading for tomorrow

The DPG offers the Leadership Programme for physicists in their doctoral or first professional years as well as postdocs for further training of (future) managers.mehr...

DPG-Kolleg

FÜR PROMOVIERENDE. DIE WEITERDENKEN. DAS DPG-KOLLEG.mehr...

Weekend seminars Physicists at work

Experience shows that many university graduates find the transition from university to professional career difficult, as they are often unfamiliar with the requirements and processes in industry. This seminar, organised by the German Physical Society, is intended to provide you with an orientation through experience reports from established physicists as well as beginners from industry and research. When selecting the lecturers, great importance was attached to covering various fields of work in order to present the broad spectrum of applications of physicists.mehr...

Netzwerk Teilchenwelt

Astro- and particle physics offers insight into the world of the smallest particles and the great mysteries of the universe. The Particle World Network aims to impart this fascinating knowledge to teachers, young people and project leaders. The DPG is patron and partner of the Particle World Network.mehr...

RISE: „Research Internships in Science and Engineering“

The DAAD's RISE Programme promotes the international exchange of students. Students from Germany have the opportunity to complete a research internship anywhere in the world; students from other countries can participate in German research projects.mehr...
