Your organization where materials science and engineering take shape.

DGM is a non-profit professional and scientific society for materials science and engineering. Its conferences, symposia and network formats bring companies together with specialists in research, development and materials testing by material class, processing route or application.

Program work

Program committees set scientific standards

Specialists from academia and industry review submissions, assess topic fit and assemble talks, posters and workshops from the accepted contributions.

  • Named program committees

    Program chairs and committees are listed on the relevant event pages.

  • Reviewed abstracts

    Selection follows topic fit and scientific quality.

  • Sponsorship kept separate

    Partner services are visible but do not determine the scientific program.

Step 01

Abstracts and contributions

Researchers from universities, research institutes and industry submit talks, posters and workshop proposals.

Step 02

Expert review

Topic chairs and program committees assess topic fit, scientific quality and balance across material classes, processing routes and applications.

Step 03

Scientific program

Accepted contributions are grouped into plenaries, technical sessions, workshops and poster formats.
