Creating enthusiasm for physics

Join the young network for physics enthusiasts and find your place in the Young DPG. You are not automatically in the Young DPG, even if you are a member of the DPG and feel young.

The Young DPG invites you to share your enthusiasm for physics beyond your studies and to draw new motivation from the exchange with like-minded people. We unite 4000 people interested in physics nationwide, from high school graduates to the young professionals who all work together. Sometimes we are working in different directions. Nevertheless, we hold on to what unites us: We are united by our experience of being able to realize dreams together. As Young DPG we organize inspiring encounters at over 200 events every year.

Become a member of the Young DPG

You are not yet a member of the DPG? Then register here and become part of our scientific society.

All DPG members can assign themselves to the Young DPG without any membership fee since the Young DPG is a working group within the DPG, i.e. an interdisciplinary association with voting rights in the board of the DPG. You can easily change your membership data here. In the section Working Groups you can select two interdisciplinary associations. With 4,000 members, the young DPG is the largest and most active working group of the DPG.
