The DGM Regional Forum is intended to serve as a suitable communication platform for materials research issues in the region. This organizes regular meetings as well as the professional exchange of experience between all partners up to the interested public. Specifically, this includes a periodic series of lectures in which professors report on their industry-relevant research and work priorities as well as leading industry representatives on research and development topics in the field of materials science. 

School excursions serve to secure the next generation of students. The establishment of a university laboratory for schoolchildren is planned to communicate in good time the attractiveness of studying materials engineering in close cooperation with the region's high schools.
Through these measures, the DGM Regional Panel intends to inspire and consolidate the common bond between the stakeholders and the DGM and thus also contribute to securing young talent for the DGM itself.
