10th dggö Annual Meeting

DGGÖ Annual Meeting With Around 500 Participants Was A Complete Success

Last week, on 5-6 March 2018, the 10th annual meeting of the German Health Economics Association (DGGÖ) took place in the main building of Hamburg University.

 We took the opportunity of this round anniversary to hold the meeting in a solemn setting. Even the weather played its part and welcomed around 500 participants with bright sunshine.

 Senator Cornelia Prüfer-Storcks (Hamburg Authority of Health and Consumer Protection) and Dean Gabriele Löschper (Hamburg University’s Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences) solemnly opened the anniversary meeting. There were three great plenary sessions with renowned and partly international speakers from science and politics. Furthermore, a varied spectrum of talks, panels and poster presentations was offered.

 During the breaks, our DGGÖ Café with a professional barista invited the participants to enjoy some coffee and exchange on an informal level.

 On Monday evening, the guests could admire Hamburg from above at a festive gala dinner. In addition to a panoramic view from the 23rd floor of the Emporio tower, there was an entertaining evening with live music and an excellent menu.

 We are excited about the large amount of positive feedback and wish our successors in Augsburg all the best for the preparation of the 11th annual meeting!
