Anyone passing by the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre and Gothia Towers Hotel in central Gothenburg this week cannot miss the fact that a major congress is underway. Right now, it is about pediatric dentistry, gathering around 1,000 international experts from June 12 to 15. It is the 17th Congress of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, abbreviated EAPD.
The members of the organisation behind the congress consist of dentists, researchers, and experts from all over Europe who work in the field of paediatric dentistry, focusing on children's dental health. Their goal is to improve dental care for children through practical work, education, and research. The theme for this year's congress is "Handling children with care" with the aim of improving dental health for children and adolescents throughout Europe with care.
This is an area where Sweden is far ahead internationally. Nina Sabel is associate professor, senior consultant pedodonticsan at the University of Gothenburg:
"We know how important good oral health is for children's general health and future well-being," she says.
Many of the major conferences are medical and linked to research conducted in Gothenburg. During Midsummer week, the Mucins in Health and Disease Conference will be held at Quality Hotel 11. The congress is about proteins found in mucous membranes, how they function, and their role in health and disease. Carolyn Bertozzi, Nobel laureate in chemistry from Stanford University, is the keynote speaker at the congress.
"June is traditionally a good month for large meetings and conferences. This year, Gothenburg is hosting meetings on various subjects such as medicine, technology, social work, and sustainable innovations. Several of the conferences held so far have attracted more participants than we expected, which is very exciting," says Fredrik Lundgren, project manager at Gothenburg Convention Bureau.
