Enjoy fascinating presentations by young researchers and scientific luminaries at the free Young Symposium on 3 May 2024 in Hamburg or via livestream
Can we alleviate balance problems in the case of neurological conditions such as stroke by decoding the brain networks for balance? Can 3D models and 3D printing technology contribute to improving research into heart disease? How exactly is energy and sugar metabolism regulated by the central nervous system? And what mechanisms are used to break down fat in cells? Fascinating questions that all have one thing in common: they are the subject of outstanding research work by talented young researchers and renowned personalities from the world of contemporary science, who have been awarded by the Jung Foundation. These questions will be answered at the fourth Jung Symposium ‘Excellence in human medicine 2024’: Metabolism researcher Professor Rudolf Zechner, Professor of Endocrinology Jens Brüning, Doctor of Cardiology Christine Maria Poch and Doctor of Neurology Maximilian U. Friedrich will offer their individual insights into their research results and will be on hand to answer questions. The symposium can be attended in person in Hamburg from 13:00 to 16:00 on 3rd May or can be followed remotely via live stream. All the details about the current programme and a registration form are available at https://jung-stiftung.de/en/symposium-2024/. The symposium will take place in English. Participation is free.
Those who would like to follow the symposium via live stream should register at https://jung-stiftung.de/en/registration-jung-symposium-2024-digital/. They will receive an access link via email a few days before the Jung Symposium ‘Excellence in human medicine 2024’.

Providing a platform for inspirational scientists and vital research
With the Jung Symposium ‘Excellence in human medicine 2024’, the Jung Foundation is, for the fourth time, providing a cross-disciplinary and international platform for scientific communication. It gives doctors, researchers, students and anyone who is interested the opportunity to learn about outstanding research live through exciting presentations. To this end, the Foundation invites its laureates to share their award-winning research findings each year. The aim is that these presentations will bring theory and practice closer together, and result in inspiration, innovation and ideas.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
