The German Society for Materials Science (DGM) is Germany’s largest and leading network in the field of materials science and engineering, bringing together research, industry, and the next generation of scientists, and it also maintains a strong international presence and global connections. Its technical committees cover the full spectrum of materials science and engineering. Through numerous events, conferences, and professional development programs, it creates opportunities for exchange, collaboration, and new ideas (Text: DGM website).

Prof. Niendorf: “I am already looking forward to further intensifying my work with the DGM. Materials are the key to sustainable and forward-looking solutions. This topic is rarely discussed in the public sphere; this is where a strong professional society like the DGM can help paint a clearer picture.”
