      4th DZG Munich Day

      29 July, 2026

      29 July 2026, Helmholtz Munich Conference Center (Campus Neuherberg)

      Munich meets Munich

      We want to connect the Munich DZG community – across all career stages, from early career scientists to PI. We offer you a unique platform for interdisciplinary exchange, new collaborations and shared visions in health research.

      Participants can look forward to a diverse program covering current topics in research and science management:

      • Insights into the research conducted by the eight German Centers for Health Research
      • Information on M1 – Munich Medicine Alliance
      • Panel discussion on the topic “AI Meets Drug Repurposing”
      • Supporting Early-Career Researchers: DZG Programs and Highlights from the Centers
      • Presentation of current cross-DZG research projects
      • Poster Awards Ceremony

      We are looking forward to the DZG Munich Day 2026!

      On last year’s DZG Munich Day, more than 200 guests from research, clinical practice, politics, academia, and non-university organizations gathered to exchange ideas and advance new initiatives in joint health research.

      In the 'Impressions' section, we have compiled a selection of photos to provide a brief overview of the DZG Munich Day 2025. Click here to view the full gallery.
