Austrian Society for Trauma Surgery / Osterreichische Gesellschaft fur Unfallchirurgie (OGU)

The aim of the Young Forum of the ÖGU is to network the young trauma surgeons throughout Austria, to facilitate their communication and interaction and to promote the mutual exchange of ideas and opinions.

The Young Forum was founded in October 2014 as part of the annual meeting of the ÖGU. In the course of 2015, a structure similar to that of an ÖGU working group was developed and tasks were distributed within the team . Now the Junge Forum is growing and there are always new ideas and projects for accident surgeons in training and at the beginning of the specialist careers career like further education and other events.

The team of the Junge Forum is in close contact with the ÖGU and sees itself as a mouthpiece for the young generation of accident surgery within the ÖGU as well as towards decision-makers.

Being in contact with the trauma departments of Austria is essential for networking, so we call on all assistant medical representatives of departments to get in touch with the Junge Forum. The contact is also actively accepted by our side to support this.

If you are interested in information from the Junge Forum, you have the possibility to subscribe to our mailing list - an informal mail to jungesforum@unfallchirurgen.at is sufficient.
