Dear friends and colleagues,
first of all let me thank Freiburg University Medical Center and Katharina Domschke and Mathias Berger for encouraging and supporting me to organise this event. It is really a major highlight for me to end my official time at Freiburg University with the possibility to invite close friends from my scientific community and former colleagues from Freiburg, to whom I am endlessly grateful for having had the chance to work with them over the last decades. A great thanks also goes to the sponsors.
Mathias Berger was my clinical and scientific mentor from 1979 till 2016 and I want to express my deep gratitude for all the opportunities he opened up for me and the lively atmosphere at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy he created. Where would I be without him? Katharina Domschke took over the Department at the end of 2016 and she provided a smooth transition which allowed me pursue my clinical and scientific interests at full speed – indeed I am extremely thankful for all the support she gave me!
I am looking forward to see many of you in person on April 11, 2025, but as seats are limited, we have made it possible to stream the event online. For this I am thanking the European Sleep Research Society (ESRS) and the German Sleep Society (DGSM) who officially endorse this event.
