Course Description: ECIM is a platform for the interdisciplinary interaction of European internists, including those practising related specialities, as well as for young internists to share their experiences and networking. As well as the presentation of the results of clinical and basic research, the ECIM 2018 will focus on innovative and comprehensive overview of the treatment of complex, multimorbid patients. Therefore, the theme of ECIM 2018 is “The art of managing clinical complexity: An integrated, patient-centred approach. Particular areas of interest include the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the principal features of metabolic syndrome and the associated spectrum of cardiovascular disease and other comorbid conditions. Gender- and age-related aspects, the emergence of digital medicine, and the impact of health economics will be highlighted. Conference Topics: • The art of managing clinical complexity: An integrated patient-centred approach • Recent advances in diagnostics and therapeutic interventions in internal medicine • Health care economics / ethical aspects of clinical decision-making for cost-efficient care and quality • Prevention, diagnosis and therapy of principal features of the metabolic syndrome • Metabolic syndrome and associated diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease and other co-morbid conditions • Gender-related aspects of metabolic and cardiovascular disease • Age-related aspects in internal medicine / with respect to demographic changes • Emergence of digital medicine • Special medical issues of migration Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

8th Oncological nursing for children and children (KOK) Annual Congress is organized by MCI Germany GmbH and will be held from Aug 31 - Sep 01, 2018 at Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, Berlin, Germany. Course description: This is a problem that has been preoccupying us for years and can not be solved by limiting ourselves to issuing water level reports and pointing out personnel shortages. We want to discuss and work with you to find out what steps need to be taken to focus on the nursing profession for young people as an attractive apprenticeship. We do not want to confine ourselves to dramatizing the new generation of nursing care - rightly so. The relevant opinion leaders and decision-makers are urged to make realistic, therefore financially feasible solutions transparent and concrete. Also visit our workshops on many interesting topics, such as tumour conference, ethics, advanced training care visit, complementary methods, sports and exercise, cancer cachexia, immunotherapy, pain therapy and many more. We hope for your numerous appearance and look forward to presenting you prominent speakers and discussion partners from politics, associations and health organizations. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

AOTrauma Course - Basic Principles of Fracture Management is organized by AOTrauma and will be held from Sep 03 - 06, 2018 at Dormero Congress and Cultural Center Hall, Halle, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

FoodMicro Conference 2018 is organized by MCI Deutschland GmbH and will be held from Sep 03 - 06, 2018 at Free University of Berlin, Berlin, Germany. The field of food microbiology has changed rapidly in the last decades and new methods help scientists all over the world to master the challenges of the 21st century. Socioeconomic changes necessitate changes in food production, supply, and handling. Previously unknown problems concerning spoilage and transmission of pathogens occur worldwide. Moreover, functional and novel foods gain importance and probiotic bacteria are in the focus of international research. To merge these different research areas Biodiversity of Foodborne Microbes has been chosen as the common theme of the conference. Participants will be offered an excellent programme, demonstrating scientific diversity and subject depth. This will be achieved by utilizing the scientific expertise of the selected national and international committees, including the members of the International Committee on Food Microbiology and Hygiene (ICFMH). Additional Details will be posted as soon as they are available.

26th International Committee on Food Microbiology and Hygiene (ICFMH) - FoodMicro Conference is organized by MCI Deutschland GmbH and will be held during Sep 03 - 06, 2018 at Henry Ford Building, Berlin, Germany. The field of food microbiology has changed rapidly in the last decades and new methods help scientists all over the world to master the challenges of the 21st century. Socioeconomic changes cause also changes in food production, supply, and handling. New problems concerning spoilage and transmission of pathogens occur worldwide. Moreover, the area of functional and novel foods gains importance and probiotic bacteria are in the focus of international research. To merge these different research areas we have chosen "Biodiversity of Foodborne Microbes" as our common theme. It is our goal to offer you an excellent programme, both, in its scientific diversity and depth. This will be achieved by the scientific expertise of the selected national and international committees and in close cooperation with the members of the International Committee on Food Microbiology and Hygiene (ICFMH). Germany has a long tradition in microbiology and famous researches such as Robert Koch, Theodor Escherich, Carl Woese, Ferdinand Cohn, and Lothar Leistner have shaped the microbiological sciences. Today, we would like to offer scientists and experts from all over the world this conference as a unique opportunity to present and discuss their current research, facilitate creative exchange of ideas, encourage new friendships and renew existing ones. We hope that you enjoy FoodMicro 2018 as scientifically as well as personally rewarding. We are very much looking forward to meet you in Berlin in 2018!
