Summer School 2017 (June, 19 - 30)
Program
In this year‘s Summer School we seek to strengthen and expand on its highest level the mutual understanding and interaction between the
disciplines represented by the scientists of the Postgraduate Program „People with Dementia in the Acute-care Hospitals“.
Each day of the Summer School will focus on one specific topic of the postgraduate program: dementia, ageism, communication, field research, functional exercise, new technologies, architecture, advance care planning, delirium, and hospital care.
We are convinced that the Summer School 2017 will be a dynamic, interactive, and highly rewarding two weeks. Participating graduates will benefit from expert knowledge of different fields with relevance to the research focus “People with Dementia in the Acute-care Hospitals”.
We are grateful to the graduates for organizing the program of the Summer School and their commitment to its success.
