Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft e.V.

The Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft e. V. (DPG) is the oldest and largest physical society in the world in terms of membership. It sees itself as a forum and voice of physics in Germany and unites physicists from universities, research institutions, industry, schools and other areas.

The DPG promotes physics in its entire breadth, from basic research to applied research. It supports young scientists, promotes the exchange of knowledge and ideas, and contributes to the public perception of physics. This is done, among other things, through the organization of scientific conferences, the awarding of prizes and awards, the publication of specialist journals and the implementation of educational offers.

The main mission of the DPG is the promotion of physics and the representation of the interests of physicists in Germany. Its central values include scientific EXCELLENCE, independence, transparency and the promotion of young scientists. The DPG is committed to an open and diverse physics community and promotes gender equality in science.

Although the information provided does not mention explicit sustainability goals and initiatives of the DPG, it is likely that the society also takes aspects of sustainability into account as part of its activities. This could be reflected, for example, in the promotion of research into renewable energies, the reduction of the ecological footprint of its events or the raising of awareness of environmental issues in physics lessons. However, since no concrete information is available, this can only be assumed. The DPG indirectly contributes to the development of sustainable technologies and solutions by promoting physical research and education.
