You are cordially invited to the
2nd European Hand Trauma Prevention Congress in Berlin.
The first congress took place in Bursa, Turkey, in
2009 by the chairman Professor Tufan Kaleli. Our
meeting has been resulting in an interdisciplinary
approach to prevention especially safety at work.
The success of this meeting enhances us to create
a new platform that again will bring together the
experts of hand trauma prevention. We expect
hand surgeons, occupational safety and health
managers, experts from the social accident insurance
and health and care insurance providers. It
is our aim to inform you about the latest technology
and their implementation in preventing hand
trauma. So we hope you will join us too. For this
time we will meet in the wonderful German capital
Berlin. The location belongs to one of the most
recent accident hospitals in Germany.
Your contributions are the key to a successful congress. Your abstracts are welcome!
We are looking forward to meeting you
