The German Physical Society (DPG) is offering grants for scientists from SESAME Member countries to attend its 2025 Spring Meetings.

We are glad to announce, for the second year, a remarkable opportunity for scientists based in SESAME Members to participate in the German Physical Society (DPG) Spring Meetings, thanks to the generous support of the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation (WE-Heraeus-Foundation) https://www.we-heraeus-stiftung.de/english/ . This continued collaboration offers an unparalleled platform for showcasing your research, engaging with leading physicists, and advancing the boundaries of knowledge in the field of physics.

 About the DPG Spring Meetings:

DPG spring meetings are regularly among the largest physics-conferences in Europe. In 2025, four DPG spring meetings will take place – each on different physical disciplines
