To increase national and international visibility, to utilize synergies through cross-linking, and to engage in dialog with neighboring disciplines from science and industry, the DGM expert committees should present themselves regularly and jointly or coordinate their leaders among themselves.

The common goal of all expert committees of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde e.V. is to offer experts from the various technical and scientific fields of metallic and non-metallic materials the opportunity for a lively exchange of experience and to promote cooperation between science and practice. This joint work aims to use technical and scientific knowledge for the benefit of the members and the companies and research institutions they represent.
