DGU Kongress 2019 in Hamburg

The Congress of the German Society of Urology, DGU Congress for short, is the most important event on this subfield of medicine in German-speaking countries. The congress takes place every year and had its first event already in 1907. Thus the DGU congress can count itself among the oldest still existing congresses.

In 2019 the 71st DGU Congress will take place - this year in the Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The congress motto of the year consists of four words: "Man, machine, medicine, economy". What is meant is the field of tension that opens up between these terms. In addition to the latest results from urological research and science, diagnostics and therapy, the congress motto will be the theme of the event. The central aspect of the area of tension is the external determination of the medical profession, which is an important topic for all physicians.

Awards, scholarships and honours will be presented as part of the supporting programme of the congress. These include the awarding of the: Alexander von Lichtenberg-Prize, Dora Teleky-Prize, Ernst-Fürstenheim-Funding of Ambulatory Research Projects, Film Prize, Research and Innovation Prize for Urological Oncology, Leopold Casper-Prize, Maximilian Nitze-Prize, Promotion Prize of the German Society for Urology, Publication Prize for Andrology of the Working Group Andrology of the DGU, Urologia Internationalis Prize, Lecture Prizes, as well as the Wolfgang Knipper-Prize.
