Physics at the interface with biology and medicine takes center stage during DPG and Spring Meeting 2026. From 8 to 13 March the conference occupies the Dresden University of Technology with a program spanning condensed matter to quantum information.
Practical information to attend in Dresden
DPG and Spring Meeting 2026 runs from 8 to 13 March at Dresden University of Technology. The official site lists registration, abstract deadlines and travel grant guidance as well as on site services for presenters and poster authors.
Participating divisions and scientific profile
The meeting is jointly organised by numerous DPG associations. The programme includes the Condensed Matter Section and divisions such as Biological Physics, Chemical and Polymer Physics, Functional Materials, Low Temperature Physics, Magnetism, Semiconductor Physics and Surface Science. Working groups cover topics from climate to industry and physics with modern IT and artificial intelligence. France is the guest country represented by the Société Française de Physique.
Program highlights on campus
The schedule features plenary speakers, symposia, tutorials, Prize Talks and a ceremonial session. Laboratory tours, social events, a public evening talk and an exhibition are part of the week. There are dedicated sessions for physics jobs and careers that connect recruiters and research leaders with early career researchers.
Preparing academic prospecting and professional outreach
To approach groups effectively prepare concise research summaries and clear collaboration asks. Map the divisions and relevant symposia in advance and prioritise plenary sessions tied to your goals. Presenters should follow the guidance for speakers and poster presenters available on the conference site and arrange technical requirements ahead of arrival. Use career sessions to schedule conversations with hiring committees and industry representatives.
Exhibition and sponsor options
Sponsoring, advertising and meeting services are managed through the conference office on campus. The exhibition complements the scientific programme and vendor presence is coordinated with the organisers. Plan logistics for set up and material transport in line with the conference timetable and lab visits.
