DGPPN 2018 Programm

DGPPN MATTERS 322 SUSTAINABILITY AT THE DGPPN CONGRESS 2018 The DGPPN will continue to conduct its annual congress as a sus- tainable, environmentally friendly congress. In this way we face up to our responsibility for the environment and for our children. We want to send a clear signal and address to this important topic. Our partners CPO HANSER SERVICE and the Messe Berlin will also participate. We hope that the congress participants will support this initiative with their own behaviour and ideas.
