What Deutsche Gesellschaft für Arbeitsmedizin und Umweltmedizin.e.V. does

DGAUM (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Arbeitsmedizin und Umweltmedizin e.V.) is a Munich-based, non-profit scientific medical society registered as an eingetragener Verein (e.V.) under German law. Founded approximately six decades ago, it is the recognized authoritative professional body for occupational and environmental medicine in the German-speaking region, with members contributing scientific expertise on a voluntary (ehrenamtlich) basis. The society is politically and economically independent and serves occupational health physicians, company doctors, environmental medicine specialists, universities, hospitals, and research institutes. Its stated mission is to shape safe working and living environments through scientifically grounded practice, advocacy, and continuing education.

The society's product and service portfolio centers on four pillars. First, the annual Wissenschaftliche Jahrestagung — described as the largest specialist conference in occupational, social, and environmental medicine in the German-speaking world — is the flagship event, delivered at rotating German university cities and also livestreamed. Second, the DGAUM Akademie delivers CME-certified continuing education through paid webinars, online seminars, an e-learning module library, and a Gutachter-Zertifizierung (expert witness certification) program currently being revised to align with the Bundesärztekammer certificate. Third, the society publishes the ASU (Arbeitsmedizin, Sozialmedizin, Umweltmedizin) journal in cooperation with Alfons W. Gentner Verlag, available at preferential rates to members. Fourth, in 2026 it launched 'forum – die arbeitsmedizin,' a member-only digital exchange platform for collegial consultation. The underlying technology stack is conventional web, webinar, and content-delivery infrastructure; no proprietary AI or data platform is disclosed.

DGAUM's revenue model is a blend of three streams. Membership dues are tiered (free for students and first-year members, EUR 120 for young members up to age 35, EUR 220 for full members aged 35+, EUR 30 for reduced-rate categories) with a minimum three-year commitment to qualify for the free first year. CME webinars are priced at EUR 39 for members and EUR 89 for non-members, with free student participation. The ASU journal subscription runs approximately EUR 169.90 per year for members and EUR 84.90 for young members. Distribution is hybrid: direct-to-member through the website and the annual conference, supplemented by project funding under Germany's Prevention Act (e.g., GAIT with BARMER, completed April 2025) and a joint BGW-funded digital-applications project. No venture capital, equity funding, or parent organization is involved, and the society is not publicly traded.
