- 216 Euro per year if employed within the new federal states (former territory of the German Democratic Republic)
New members who are at the beginning of their employment receive a 50% discount on the membership fee for the first two years of full membership. This discount is available to all applicants, who apply for membership within the first five years of their professional activity after finishing their graduate or postgraduate degrees.
For students the membership is free!
The annual membership fee is due at the beginning of each calendar year, either by direct debit or by invoice, in cases where a direct debit mandate has not been granted. If the membership is cancelled before the end of the calendar, no proportionate refund will be given for the remaining months.
