EMS concept for the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos [Das Sanitätskonzept beim World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos]

This year's World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2008 will take place in Davos, Switzerland on 23-27 January. More than 2,000 participants from over 100 countries representing the realms of politics, economics, and science will meet to exchange views on political, social, and economic aspects of the development of the global community. The Annual Meeting of the WEF is one of the most important economic and sociopolitical events in the world. Experiences gathered in past years with the existing EMS concept adjusted to current conditions have shown that all situations encountered to date could be managed with the chosen approach. Problem areas concern the interface between the partners involved as is the case in all organizational structures. Close communication in joint sessions and daily rapport during the WEF are considered important elements. Consistent and good cooperation between all participating partners is crucial for implementing an EMS concept. © 2008 Springer Medizin Verlag.
