At DAS|DAGA 2025, the junge DEGA group offers the following activities for young acousticians (see also conference program):

New to DAS / DAGA? - The Buddy Program
New to the conference? No worries, for this purpose the junge DEGA organizes a buddy program. First-time conference attendees ("buddies") will be assigned a friendly contact person ("mentor"). They will help them prepare and settle into the conference environment already before the conference starts. Simply register at https://www.das-daga2025.eu/registration/buddy-programm

Icebreaker
Monday, March 17, 15:00 – 16:30, Foyer in front of plenary hall
The junge DEGA group starts into the conference with an Icebreaker event. Come along and take the opportunity to meet other young acousticians even before the official opening of the conference. Let's break the ice together!

Pub evening
Monday, March 17, from 20:00, Location see conference app
Let's end the first conference day together at a pub evening to chat about life and acoustics in a relaxed atmosphere. Be it old friends or new faces, everyone is welcome!

Speed Dating – Meet the Acousticians
Tuesday, March 18, 17:40 - 18:20 in Room Nordhavn (B3M10)
This event can be understood as a marketplace where acousticians from different disciplines and professional backgrounds can connect and look beyond their own horizons. In particular, it allows young acousticians to learn about the career paths of more experienced colleagues and to discover the wide range of fields in acoustics, which they might never have imagined. It is organized as speed dating, where new conversational partners meet every couple of minutes for another chat.

junge DEGA group meeting (Fachgruppensitzung)
Wednesday, March 19, 12:30-13:30 in Room 20
You want to know what the junge DEGA group does, maybe even get involved? Or you have suggestions for future projects? Then join us at the junge DEGA group meeting! We will be looking back at past activities, giving an outlook on future plans and electing the new board. All group members as well as all interested students, doctoral candidates and young professionals are warmly invited.

Research in Short(s) & PowerPoint Karaoke
Wednesday, March 19, 16:00 – 17:20 in Room 20
An entertaining and scientific competition in which all DAS|DAGA authors are invited to present their research in a brief, understandable and fascinating way. The short presentations (max. 5 min) should be held in English and contain no more than 3 slides. Those who prefer to give a spontaneous presentation have the opportunity to explain their groundbreaking findings with unknown slides during a PowerPoint karaoke. Attractive prizes will be awarded to the winners!
Registration: No later than 2 hours before the event (March 19) via shorts@das-daga2025.eu or in person with Tabea Breitkreutz or Jonas Heck.
