Lecture series
The promotion of the exchange of knowledge and science as such is a core concern of the DPG. For this reason, the DPG regularly organises lecture series with different focal points. On the one hand, aspects from industry and business or the school system are addressed, while on the other hand, lectures are given by women in physics or on socially relevant topics.
DPG Industry Talks
The Industry Talks, a regional series of events organised by the DPG's Arbeitskreis Industrie und Wirtschaft (AIW), are initially aimed at all physicists working in industry outside universities and research institutions, but are also popular with the general public. The industry talks offer forums for the exchange of experience on topics of physical research, the transfer of scientific findings into applications and current industrial topics, and they promote networking.mehr...
DPG Teachers' Talks
Teachers of physics often have few other colleagues interested in physics in their working environment at schools, so that it is difficult to have a professional exchange or an exchange about special methods in physics lessons. The DPG Teachers' Discussions aim to provide a framework for networking here. The DPG Teachers' Talks are currently held at three locations in Germany, often in cooperation with local universities. In most cases, they consist of an evening lecture followed by a snack for discussion and exchange.mehr...
DPG vor Ort
„DPG vor Ort“ ist eine regionale Veranstaltungsreihe der DPG und richtet sich an alle Physikerinteressierte an Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen. Neben einem wissenschaftlichen Vortrag bietet „DPG vor Ort“ Foren zum Netzwerken und Kennlernen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft.mehr...
Lise-Meitner-Lectures
Lise Meitner was born in Vienna and worked in Berlin for over 30 years. In 1939 she delivered the first physical-theoretical explanation of nuclear fission. She died in Cambridge (Great Britain) in 1968. In her honour, the Austrian Physical Society (ÖPG) and the German Physical Society (DPG) have established the "Lise Meitner Lectures" (LML), which took place for the first time in 2008.mehr...
Max von Laue lectures
In 2000, the DPG initiated a lecture series in honour of Max von Laue. The physicist and Nobel Prize winner, who was President of the German Physical Society from 1931 to 1933, was extraordinarily active in the field of human rights between 1933 and 1945. The Max von Laue Lectures take place within the framework of the Annual Meetings and are given by scientists who are distinguished by their strong political or social commitment.mehr...
Scientific evening lectures in the Magnus-Haus Berlin
The regular scientific evening lectures focus on current topics in physics that are explained in a way that is understandable to the general public. Speakers are renowned scientists from university or non-university research.mehr...
Parliamentary evenings
With Parliamentary Evenings, the German Physical Society offers the Members of the German Bundestag an opportunity to inform themselves about current scientific findings, current applications or future technical developments in discussions with independent, renowned scientists and young researchers on a topic of current interest in the Bundestag with physical references.mehr...
DPG Technology Transfer Forum
With a few exceptions, the transfer of knowledge and technology (KTT) from universities and research institutes to industry and vice versa still plays a mostly subordinate role today.mehr...
