You can find the young DPG on-site at over 30 universities. Organized in regional groups, physics students prepare events that can be attended by all physics enthusiasts.

At the various events, you will have the opportunity to get to know your professors better, to get in contact with doctoral students and postdocs, to ask questions to working physicists and to exchange ideas with physics students from all over Germany.
