The activites of the German Society of International Law center on the scientific conference, which take place biennially and are open to members only. The biennial conferences also serve as the Society's General Meeting, at which, inter alia, the Board and the Council of the  Gesellschaft are elected.

​

The presentation and discussions at those conferences are subsequently published in full text in the conference proceedings of the German Society of International Law. The volumes of the conference proceedings can be accessed on the page of the respective biennial conference. An overview of all conference proceedings can also be found here.
