Cooperation conference of the GMDS, DGSMP, DGEpi, DGMS and DGPH 08.-13.09.2024 in Dresden

The cooperation conference of the GMDS, DGSMP, DGEpi, DGMS and DGPH will take place from September 18 to 13 in the culturally rich Deutsches Hygiene-Museum in Dresden. The conference will begin with the GMDS conference from September 8 to 11, 2024, followed by the DGSMP, DGEpi, DGMS and DGPH conference from September 11 to 13, 2024.

We are facing a variety of global and regional challenges: War and terror, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the rise of anti-democratic efforts are threatening health and science. In view of the future scenarios associated with these challenges, a narrow view of our own discipline is not helpful. Science, in particular public health science, does not take place in a vacuum and must constantly classify and position itself within society. We would therefore like to use the joint congress to look for solidarity-based solutions and positions together. We can then incorporate these into public health research and implementation and jointly represent them in society.

We expect the collaboration of five specialist societies in a joint annual conference to provide impetus for how we can meet current challenges and further develop health promotion as well as preventive and curative healthcare and science.

We look forward to our joint annual conference, to you and your attendance, to many interesting, critical and varied contributions and to exchanging ideas with you!
