The final preparations for the 1st International schülke Infection Prevention Symposium on June 30th in Hamburg, Germany are going on. The global scientific team of schülke has prepared a high-class event with guests and speakers from more than 9 countries.
This symposium offers the opportunity for an international exchange at a high scientific level on the most important fields of infection prevention as well as an excellent opportunity to connect with colleagues from different scientific fields and to exchange knowledge and experiences. We are sure that you will gain valuable insights and knowledge from the experts and participants.
