The International Congress of the German Association of Osteopaths (VOD) is breaking fresh ground. The congress made a name for itself during the twelve years it was held in Schlangenbad, near Wiesbaden, as a forum for qualitatively first-class osteopathy with speakers and participants from around the world. In 2010, the Association is indeed implementing a decisive principle of osteopathy with its premier on “Campus Lehre” in the University Medical Centre of Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE): life is movement. New stimuli and advancements will determine this 13th International Congress in Hamburg. Further education, information and an exchange of ideas at the highest level with renowned speakers on the main topics of “Osteopathy for Children”, “Science and Osteopathy” and “Philosophy and Osteopathy” will dominate happenings here in northern Germany over four days. Besides highly interesting lectures, seven workshops and a varied leisure programme, the postgraduate courses with Renzo Molinari on the one hand and Lynn Haller and his team from SCC London, on the other, will also be a true highlight.

We wish to welcome most cordially all the faithful followers and new faces in Hamburg, who are inspired by osteopathy. We are particularly proud to have the patronage of two leading personalities: Ole von Beust, First Mayor of Hamburg, and Prof. Udo Schumacher (med.), Chair of the Department of Anatomy in UKE. We are also very pleased to welcome the Director of the Kirkville Museum, Jason Haxton, who will be telling us about new museum exhibits.
