Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Communication Programme of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft e. V. for scientific communication between young generation scientists.

Young scientists are one of the most important target groups for the activities of the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation. In 1989, the Foundation and the DPG jointly established a programme that gives young physicists at an early period of their scientific career (master's, diploma or doctoral thesis) the opportunity to present their own research results to a critical audience of scientific experts.

Funding opportunities for DPG members who live or work in Germany

Within this programme the active participation by young DPG members - who live or work in Germany - at the DPG Spring Meeting is financially supported.

Please check before applying whether the Wilhelm und Else Heraeus Communication Programme is suitable for you. The application must be submitted no later than 8 February 2027, 23:59 Central European Time, via the WEH online form. 

The application for funding is possible online from 1 October 2026.
