Health Awareness Day 2024

The Health Awareness Day 2024 - "Collaborative, Sustainable, Healthy"

A day dedicated to various physical, mental and social aspects of wellbeing at the University of Greifswald.

On 25 June from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the Berthold-Beitz-Platz Campus, you can look forward to interesting offers on health and exercise, information stands and lectures on the subject of wellbeing. The contributions will come from both university members and initiatives, associations and organisations from the surrounding area. You will also have the opportunity to get to know numerous health insurance companies and find out about the university's health programmes. The Health Awareness Day offers the opportunity to exchange ideas with one another and to gain inspiration for improving your own health.

Pre-registration [de] is required for some of the offers. The detailed programme with around 30 different offers can be found below.

Participation in the Health Awareness Day counts as work time for members of staff (including student assistants, but not employees at University Medicine).
