Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Colleagues, dear Friends,
Health is our most precious asset and everyone in the world should have the chance to achieve and maintain health and wellbeing. Economic challenges, global and local inequalities, and a rapidly changing world still pose obstacles to unimpeded access to health care for all. Research can facilitate better health for all in a changing world – through the development of targeted and inclusive interventions, more effective control measures and early adaptation to new challenges. There are numerous topics that require discussion, and such an exchange is beneficial for all parties.
On behalf of the the congress committees, the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM) and the Federation of European Societies for Tropical Medicine and International Health (FESTMIH), it is our great pleasure to invite you to the European Congress for Tropical Medicine and International Health (ECTMIH) 2025 in Hamburg from 29 September to 2 October 2025. A motivated team expects 1.500 participants in the newly renovated Hamburg Congress Center (CCH): a great event for the double anniversary of 125 years of the BNITM and 30 years of ECTMIH.
The conference offers a unique opportunity to present the latest research findings on global infectious diseases, emerging infections, clinical tropical medicine, immunology and interaction, One Health, international health, and non-infectious diseases of global impact. We will discuss past and future of Tropical Medicine, health impact for societies, and neglect of vulnerable populations.
With a variety of workshops, sessions, training courses and poster sessions; with exciting social events and an interesting flanking programme we are looking forward to an inspiring conference: interdisciplinary, diverse, innovative, dynamic and pioneering.
Hamburg is a beautiful and charming city with a rich history and culture. It is also known for its long tradition of research and education. We are delighted welcoming you to Hamburg!
With best regards,
the Conference Chairs
