Welcome!
Under the conference theme Participation and Co-Creation, the German Society for Social Medicine and Prevention warmly invites you to the 2025 Annual Conference. In a time of increasing social, health, and societal challenges, inclusive and participatory approaches are becoming increasingly important to strengthen the right to health self-determination, particularly for vulnerable population groups, and to counteract the development of a fragmented society.
We warmly invite you to submit contributions on the conference theme Participation and Co-Creation. The focus is on approaches addressing social participation and inclusion, as well as on accessibility of health services, the use of innovative methods such as digital tools or design thinking for program development and the political and societal dimensions of participation in health. Whether research findings, practice-based reports, or creative health projects – we look forward to contributions that overcome barriers, strengthen participatory processes, and create sustainable solutions for health and well-being.
Abstract submission: February 15 – March 31, 2025
