The keynote presentations will discuss, among other things, approaches to successful health communication, for example in the case of vaccination (Prof. Dr. Cornelia Betsch, University of Erfurt), or the social role of food and how knowledge about it can lead to better health (Prof. Dr. Jutta Mata, University of Mannheim). In addition, more than 300 expert talks and workshops as well as on over 300 posters will present new findings from all areas of health psychology. The congress is organized by Prof. Dr. Benjamin Schüz in collaboration with the German Health Psychology chapter within the German Psychological Society (DGPs) and the European Health Psychology Society (EHPS).
