REVIEW: THAT WAS THE 2024 SYMPOSIUM



VISION 
The symposium “Health Care of the Future” is based on the conviction that good architecture and urban planning can contribute to improve health care provision as well as prevention and health promotion. The built environment has a considerable impact on physical, mental and social well-being as well as on the efficiency and safety of hospitals. As a regulating element for safeguarding health and well-being, architecture and urban development need to be discussed and planned hand in hand with all participants of the health care sector.
GOALS 
Since 2006, the symposium brings together over 200 stakeholder, decision makers, scientists and visionaries of all areas related to the building and health care
sector, to jointly define challenges, present innovations and draft common goals. 
The symposium provides a platform for a multi-professional exchange and acts as a generator of innovative approaches.


The 11th symposium is supported by:
