SUSTAINABILITY
AT THE DGPPN CONGRESS 2014
The DGPPN will continue to conduct its annual congress as a sustain-
able, environmentally friendly congress. In this way we face up to
our responsibility for the environment and for our children. We want
to send a clear signal and address this important topic. Our partners
CPO HANSER SERVICE and the Messe Berlin will also participate.
We hope that the congress participants will support this initiative
with their own behaviour and ideas.
