The spring meetings of the German Physical Society (DPG) are regularly among the largest physics’ conferences in Europe. In 2025 there will be 4 spring meetings covering all aspects of modern physics.
 
For many years, DPG’s “communication programme” offers financial support for young physicists working in Germany who want to participate in these spring meetings.
Thanks to the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-foundation, DPG was now able to add an international component to this communication programme and to offer 50 fellowships for young physicists working in some Middle- and Eastern European countries and willing to participate in a DPG spring meeting 2025.
 
The fellowships cover the conference fee, up to 520 € for travel and accommodation plus a daily lump sum of 30 €. Candidates for the fellowship must be approaching their PhD or have obtained their PhD not longer than 6 years ago, they must be member in the Physical Society of their country, (or a member of the European Physical Society or the Physical Society of another European country) and must be ready to present (typically with a poster) their work at the spring meeting.

The eligible countries are Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, North Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Turkey. Ukraine, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia.

The deadline for applications for a fellowship from the international component of the communication programme is 1st November 2024.
