Versorgen - Forschen - Teilhaben
September 21-23, 2026 | Hamburg Convention Center, Hamburg, Germany
Scientific congress on addiction research and addiction therapy, held jointly by two addiction societies whose presidents lead the presidium.
The 18th Deutscher Suchtkongress runs from 21 to 23 September 2026 at the Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf, on the UKE Campus Lehre in the Süderfeldstraße. The motto chosen for this edition is "Versorgen - Forschen - Teilhaben", and the congress presidency is held by PD Dr. Angela Buchholz.
The congress is carried jointly by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Suchtforschung und Suchttherapie (DG-Sucht) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Suchtpsychologie (dg sps). For clinicians and researchers looking for an addiction medicine conference in Germany, or a Suchtkongress covering substance use disorders across research, policy and everyday care, the Hamburg meeting joins addiction medicine, addiction psychology, social work, nursing and public health under a single scientific programme. Programme tracks announced for 2026 include substances, foundations and mechanisms, behavioural addictions and digital environments, and people, society and participation.
The event has been accredited with 18 continuing education points under the further-training regulations of the Psychotherapeutenkammer Hamburg, and it is recognised as an event of vocational further training, so participants can request confirmation for an educational-leave application to their employer. Registration is tiered: reduced rates applied to payments received up to 15 July 2026, with standard rates from 16 July 2026, and separate reduced categories exist for students and for psychotherapists in training, alongside day tickets. Delegates arranging accommodation should note that the international trade fair WindEnergy Hamburg takes place in the city at the same time, which the organisers flag on their travel page.
