Two inspiring days in Filzbach above the beautiful Walensee are behind us. From September 1 to 2, the entire School of Medicine – Universität St.Gallen (HSG) came together for our research seminar retreat. The aim was to share current work, discuss it constructively, and connect ideas across teams and disciplines.

The sessions delivered clear analyses and lively discussions. Equally valuable were the conversations beyond the presentations during meals, coffee breaks, and short walks with a great view. These moments helped bridge perspectives from discovery to clinical application to health policy and strengthened our community.

We extend our appreciation to all presenters, discussants, moderators and the organizing team. We look ahead with renewed momentum and to continued exchange across the School of Medicine.
