The DGM (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde e.V.) is a German materials science and engineering society that works to promote the field and support its members. As part of this mission, the DGM partners with other organizations both within Germany and internationally to represent and strengthen the interests of the materials science and engineering community as a whole. These partnerships allow the DGM to collaborate on research, advocacy, education, and other initiatives that benefit the field and its practitioners. By working together with its partners, the DGM is able to expand its reach and impact, and better serve the needs of its members and the broader materials science and engineering community.
