Announcement and Invitation

Welcome to the 25th German Congress for Health Services Research!

We are delighted to welcome you to Cologne University Hospital in September. As Congress Presidents, we cordially invite the health services research community and all other interested parties to celebrate this special anniversary with us.

The 25th Congress marks a milestone. The first German Congress for Health Services Research took place in Cologne in 2002 – now we are returning to the place where it all began. We would like to look back with you, but above all, we would like to look ahead.

Under the motto “People. Relationships. Organizations. 25 years of joint health services research,” we are focusing on what defines health care – and what also shapes our professional community. The motto is deliberately ambiguous: it stands for patients, professions, and structures in health care, as well as for the cooperation of a lively, committed community that has been shaping health services research together for 25 years.

We look forward to inspiring contributions, new perspectives, and personal exchanges with you in Cologne.

Warm regards

Prof. Dr. Nicole Ernstmann & Prof. Dr. Lena Ansmann

Congress Presidents
