Research Congress 2026

Central questions in this congress

• What is the status of "Whole medical systems" research in conventional medicine (e.g. complex interventions, and systems biology research, case studies), Traditional Complementary & Integrative Medicine (TCIM) and anthroposophic medicine (AM)?
• How can we conceptualize, design, use and develop "Whole medical systems" (research) further to serve research in AM?
• What are the challenges of "Whole medical systems" in the context of Evidence-Based Medicine?
• How can "Whole medical systems" research improve AM clinical practice (diagnostics, therapeutic process steering/ clinical decision-making and evaluation of effects in personalized complex treatment trajectories) and AM education?
• How can we improve the impact of "Whole medical systems" research on acceptance and integration of AM in conventional medicine and TCIM
• How can we influence policy makers?
• How can we realize reimbursement of AM whole medical system interventions for specific indications? And what does this mean for reimbursement of the individual AM therapies?
