Summer Academy 2027
The Summer Academy is the DGG Academy’s main annual continuing professional development conference. Vascular surgeons and those undergoing specialist training can attend to further their knowledge in both theory and practice. The courses cover the entire spectrum of vascular surgery and vascular medicine. At the heart of the programme is the ‘Vascular Surgery Compact’ course, which runs for the whole week and, through a combination of lectures and simulated exams, covers all the topics essential for preparing for the specialist qualification exam.
The next Summer Academy will take place from 21 to 25 June 2027 in Berlin.
